Get Some

About This Movie

Get Some (2010) dives into the gritty landscape of war through the eyes of Private Barnes, a fresh Marine grappling with the harsh realities of his first tour in Iraq. The film's tone is raw and visceral, capturing the weight of military life amidst the chaos of combat. The pacing is taut, never letting you forget the tension of Barnes’ mission to hunt down those using donkeys for IEDs. It's not your typical action flick; it mixes that action with a deep sense of moral conflict. While it might not have the polish of big-budget productions, the practical effects do a lot to ground the experience. The performances, especially from the lead, carry an authenticity that makes the story resonate on a deeper level.

Get Some has had a bit of a rocky journey in the collector's market. Initially, it saw a modest release, but over time, it developed a niche following due to its unconventional take on wartime narratives. Although not exceedingly rare, finding copies in good condition can be tricky, especially among collectors looking for those underappreciated gems that challenge traditional war movie tropes. Interest tends to be more pronounced amongst those who appreciate independent films that push boundaries.
