    Bomb squad. Iraq. Gripping, suspenseful, intense. Tastefully done. No political messages.

    If you get a chance to see this one, do it. Released in Italy with limited release in the U.S. I will definitely pickup the Blu-ray whenever it comes out.

    Jeremy Renner should at the very least get an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Fantastic performance.

    Highly recommended.

    I agree. This is the best movie I have seen all year. So intense, and very well done.

    Ok I just got done watching this last night. FINALLY an Iraq film with no "message" behind it. Great dialogue, intense scenes. Jeremy Renner did an outstanding job in the lead role.

    I would say from a military standpoint there were some huge inaccuracies of how the military conducts certain situations. (Like troops completely abandoning a running humvee to go hide) But that should not hinder anyone from seeing this film.

    Solid 8.5 from me.

    VERY LONG WAIT from Netflix. Dammit! I had it arranged so that I sent a movie back and it was received the day H-L was released, and I had H-L on the top of my queue. I was hoping to get it first round, but they gave me my 2nd queue choice. Grrr. Oh well, maybe I'll just buy it...

    I just returned my copy of The Hurt Locker to NetFlix. I hope you get it. The story was exceptional. IMO first great war film of my generation. The sound from high to LFE was thoroughly engaging and never done just to be extreme.

    I saw this movie in the Theatres, I had to really push my gf to see it as I knew it would likely be something special. It was. Not a movie I would care to view again as it's not an enjoyable experience. But it is intense to the point that I think people should see it.

    Blind buy on Bluray last night. Excellent movie! should get a couple of Oscars, I think. Rotten tomatoes pegged it at 97%. I don't normally agree with RT but on this one, they are right on.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    I had to turn my MFW-15 waaaayyy down to like 7 o'clock to watch this movie. There were a few explosion scenes that would've have me arrested for public disturbance.

    The movie itself was very good, but no, not earth shattering or anything.

    I really tried hard to love this movie, but just couldn't do it. It was missing a certain something the french call......I don't know what.......(Dr Evil quote...)

    Good, but not at the top of my war films list or anything.

    Finally saw it. Good, not great. Almost Very Good. I give it a 7.5 out of 10 (thats a good score).

    I would say Black Hawk Down is better though.

    Watched this last night... started out good.. then went downhill from there. ending was lame. OMG predictable ending. should have ended the movie 10 minutes earlier. that's all i'm going to say..

    I had heard such good things about this movie recently.. so I was hoping for more.. something better... the movie delivered on that level, then it turned all Hollywood and I was done with it by then.
