Oh wow, how sad. Read Jungers book, and saw the movie. Really gripping stuff.

I knew this thread was bumped for the news. Really unfortunate.

Restrepo was a good doc. RIP

Kinetic military action is .

Sucks that the director got killed. That was a great movie.

It was nominated for Best Do entary, but lost out to the one on the Banking Industry robbing us blind...I believe the le is called Inside Job--which was an excellent do entary as was Restrepo. If there were a case for co-Best Do entaries, this should've been the year or, give it outright to the Restreop camp. Exit Through A Gift Shop was also a very poignant do entary.

Sad to hear that one of the producers of Restrepo passed away...Goes to show how much turbulence there is in that region...May his family be at peace.

Ugh. Tragic.

[Cry Havoc]

Sad. I think I'll check out Restrepo. Sounds like something I would really take value from. Unfortunate that it took the director dying for me to hear about the movie, though. Hopefully his work will not have been in vain.

Restrepo was great work. Great to see reality instead of fiction for once...there's plenty of Generation Kill, Full Metal Jacket, etc etc.

Sad to hear he's died in his dangerous line of work. I bet there will be a do entary made about him.

I was shocked Restrepo didn't win until I saw Inside Job. I then understood. I would definitely go 1a, 1b with those 2. I also agree ETTGS was a great great film.

Just watched Inside Job this sunday. That was a great film too.
