Seeing 'Restrepo' Today

I'm heading out here in a minute to check out "Restrepo" at the Landmark Theater in West L.A.

Check the review at Big Hollywood, "REVIEW: ‘Restrepo’ Focuses Admirably on Our Military But Willfully Ignores Their Noble Cause."

And NYT's review is surprisingly favorable:

What distinguishes “Restrepo” — which belongs with “The Hurt Locker” and “Gunner Palace” on the short shelf of essential 21st-century combat movies — is not only its uniquely intensive focus on a small group of men in a particular time and place, but also its relentless attention to the lethal difficulty of their work.

More blog updates tonight, so check back.
