The Hurt Locker

Just saw this movie tonight and all I can say is wow.

If you haven't seen a preview, it is about a EOD team in Iraq.

I strongly recommend going to see this if you can.

It definitely hits a nerve with me but I'm glad I saw it.
God bless all of you in harms way and for those that we have lost, Seth, thank you.

I want to but the only theater by me showing it is 20 miles away, and only shows it during the week when Im in class or working

Im just going to buy it when it pops out on DVD

I think it should be hitting wider theater release pretty soon.

I got it off a torrent before it was released.

On par with Saving Private Ryan

Just got home from it. Best war movie I've seen focused on the Iraq wars. As what one of the other people I saw it with said, it's what Jarhead wished it was.

Same.
Only had time to watch a little of it so far, i'll try to find some time to finish it tonight.

hmm I watched that movie about a month ago on some random website. It was very well done though.

SEE THIS MOVIE NOW.
This was the best movie I've seen all summer (although that's not saying much.)
Don't be fooled by the film festival awards on the poster, this thing is crammed full of action, and it's not all EOD stuff either.

The fact that this isn't getting a major studio-backed release is a crime against the American movie-going public.

See it, then tell everyone you know to go see it.
No one will be dissapointed.

Downloaded and watched via torrent about a month ago.

Definitely not anywhere near on par with Saving Private Ryan, IMHO.

Wasn't overly impressed, nor were some of the folk in our company (Med-Eng/Allen-Vanguard, our EOD-9 suits are those featured in the film) but it wasn't absolutely terrible either.
