Ryhmä nuoria sotilaita. Yksi vuosi. Korengalin laaksossa, keskellä talibanien hallitsemaa osaa Afganistanista. He lähtivät sinne suojelemaan rauhaa, mutta joutuivat sen sijaan keskelle pitkittynyttä, toivotonta ja veristä sotaa vihamieliseen ympäristöön, jonka pelisääntöjä he eivät ymmärrä. Tarkkailuasema Restrepo tarjoaa eturivin paikan keskelle sodan kauhuja ja toivottomuutta. (Atlantic Film Fin.)

Restrepo is an advanced combat outpost of the US army in the militarily most exposed area of the Afghan battlefield, which bore the brunt of the clashes with the Taliban at a time when the US administration wanted to showcase itself as the victor where several other armies, including the Soviets and the British, had previously failed. It cannot be compared to the similarly themed Danish documentary Armadillo, which I find considerably smarter, more mature in terms of filmmaking, and much better at analyzing the typical low-intensity warfare that the Afghan battlefield represents. Restrepo is more action-packed partly because there was indeed more combat activity there, and partly because American filmmakers feel that the audience deserves some excitement, with camera shaking and emotional outbursts like "They're around the corner!" Overall impression: 55%.
