The Hurt Locker

[britmaveric]

Go see the Hurt Locker at the cinema or on dvd.

Rarely can I recommend a truly great movie, but this is perhaps the best films I have seen all year.

Basic premise - 39 days left for a year long tour of duty of a US Army Bomb squad unit in Iraq.

Thanks for the heads-up. It's received a whopping 98% on RT.

The crappy new Movieseer site doesn't give any indication of when it'll be in Thailand. Anybody know?

Bought it months ago and couldn't get it to play on anythingso forgot about it. Better buy another.

Probably be a leading Oscar Contender... lot of A-list stars done Cameos in it.

Pretty intense stuff being a bomb defuser.

I like a good war movie as much as the next red blooded fella, but for some reason the Hurt Locker left me cold. I understand why people think its a good movie, but I just couldn't relate to the characters.

^Amazing Jing thought you would have loved this one - kind of shows you that the enemy is all around you and hard to trust anything that is going on. IED probably have killed more soldiers than actual combat - pretty amazing/powerful message.
