film was made, admitting that the occu- pation had been futile. That recent his- tory hangs over the film like a pall as the 15-man platoon makes its way through Korengal’s verdant but deadly passes, dodging incoming Taliban bullets as the soldiers build the outpost they will name Restrepo, after a medic who had been killed in action. (R, 94 minutes) Contains profanity throughout, including descrip- tions of violence. At AMC Loews Shirling- ton and Landmark’s E Street Cinema.
BBROBIN HOOD
Dark and polemic, Ridley Scott’s film is less about a band of merry men than a whole country of angry ones. Set in an England bankrupted by war, Robin Long- stride (Russell Crowe) is a bowman under King Richard the Lionheart. When Richard is killed, Robin carries his crown back to England and into the hands the treacher- ous Prince John (Oscar Isaac). But Robin must also return the sword of slain noble- man Sir Robert Loxley (Douglas Hodge) to his family. To avoid accusations of theft, Robin temporarily assumes Loxley’s iden- tity. However, he is asked to stay by Rob- ert’s father and to continue the imperson- ation and live as husband to Robert’s wid- ow, Marion (Cate Blanchett). The bad guy is Sir Godfrey (Mark Strong), King John’s chief tax enforcer and a spy for the French, who hope to take advantage of the civil unrest he’s sowing. The film

shows little of the Robin Hood we know, suggesting you may have to wait for “Robin Hood II” for that story. (PG-13, 140 minutes) Contains plentiful violence, sensu- ality and some sexual humor. At Cinemark Egyptian and University Mall Theatre.
This absorbing story of the unlikely inter- section of an unrequited love affair and an unresolved crime opens in the present day. Former prosecution investigator Ben- jamin Esposito (Ricardo Darín), now re- tired, begins work on a novel about a case that has been haunting him since 1974, when a young woman was brutally raped and killed and the legal system failed to bring her killer to justice. When Benjamin takes a draft of his book to his former boss, Irene (Soledad Villamil), they begin to reminisce about their own relationship, professional and otherwise. If the film’s climactic twist borders on the luridly out- landish, director Juan José Campanella deserves credit for staging it with re- straint and for assembling a first-rate cast of seasoned actors. (R, 129 minutes) Contains a rape scene, violent images, graphic nudity and profanity. In Spanish with subtitles. At AMC Loews Shirlington and Landmark’s E Street Cinema.
