Restrepo (2010)

Documentary from Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger that chronicles a year with an army platoon in the deadliest valley in Afghanistan. I was amazed how great looking most of these guys were (I thought to myself, "Why, instead of risking their lives don't some of these fellas move to New York and pursue modeling?") The filmmakers really capture the camaraderie; these guys seem very emotionally attached to each other. At times you feel like you're there, with long stretches of monotony suddenly disrupted by tense encounters and even horror. When one of their men is shot and killed right in front of them, the reactions of shock and grief are unforgettable. It makes any great "acting" you've seen seem like utter bullshit.
