The Hurt Locker.

Yes, this is a surfpage, but many of us like to discuss non-surf related issues amongst fellow surfers. Here's the place to do it. Registration is required.

I enjoyed the movie alot, it was very intense like you said and yet it was not glamourised warfare like I imagined the position the movie might take(ie going to strip clubs, hooking up with hookers, doing drugs, etc) which I know goes on a lot but it was nice to see the story from the eyes of a pure adrenaline junkie. The ending was very realistic also and sad.

I thought the very last scene turned it into an extended recruitment video.
before the last five minutes I'd give it four stars.

From what I hear, Restrepo is WAY better (not to say the Hurt Locker is bad, but that this film is far more accurate and realistic):

Loved it. But still can't believe that hootch had anything to do with point break.
The service here sucks.

First question: why does this movie have its own thread? I watched it and thought it was good.

5 Alarm for sure. Had to rub one out during her oscar award acceptance speech. Cameron looked like the dough boy.
