Restrepo (2010) - **
This documentary feature by American journalist Sebastian Junger and British photographer Tim Hetherington follows the two on assignment for Vanity Fair in Afghanistan. The two followed a platoon on a 15 month deployment in the Korengal Valley of Afghanistan, considered to be one of the deadliest places on Earth. While there is some nice footage of a part of the world we see little of, the film mostly chronicles the grim routine of combat duty. We've seen this before - in better crafted, more captivating films.
