The Hurt Locker

I saw this last night because I heard so many good reviews of it and it was okay. It's about like a bomb squad in Iraq defusing bombs and stuff with a Maverick cowboy who does crazy stuff. There has been a lot of people complaining about the reality of it since the guy does a lot of stuff that they wouldn't actually do in the Army supposedly. It's kind of an interesting movie but it has some slow spots and sometimes stupid character interactions. Most likely if you see it you will probably hate it as that's the vibe I think DAC will get from the movie and call it stupid.

Also I noticed that they played Gear of War in 2004 in the movie, they couldn't slide that by with my think tank.

Isn't this movie directed by a woman? No wonder it's a shit flick.

she directed point break and near dark ok chillll

i liked it. i dont really care it was realistic or not as movies are rarely real in my hombol opinion. it was tense and had some shit bits but otherwise i liked it for a contemporary action movie in a contemporary setting for a contemptable origaunce.

p.s this movie is pretty good for a war movie set in the middle east, probably my Favourite one of the decade at least. Theres some dumb bits but its worth downloaden

Eh, this movie is amazing, finally. And Jeremy Renner would be a great Mad Max.

Pretty uneven shit. Jeremy Renner, Ralph Fiennes and Anthony Mackie kick ass, but despite that this movie really isn't anything extraordinary. Jennifer's Body takes the cake for female directed in my opinion.

I thought J's Body was a horror for high school simpletons? Maybe I'm just prejudiced...

Anyhow congrats to Hurt Locker, now I go find photos of Cameron's face when his ex was on the stage

Naw, it is a send up of all that shit. Does some cool shit with the male gaze as well as how people deal with tragedy. Sometimes the best films are ones that come across as schlock but manage to smuggle a little subtext and social critique without devolving into preachy, didactic social problem films. This isn't the best example of that, but it still does a damn good job.

I agree, his role as Mad Max would be pretty cool.
I just watched this movie again today and it is great.
It makes me wonder why we fight in the first place when we know we will just die anyways. Why cant we all just get the fuck along?

He was in the running but Tom Hardy of "Bronson" is the new Mad Max. Jeremy Renner deserves better more original roles than that after doing The Hurt Locker. The only other movies I saw him in were 28 Weeks Later and Dahmer.
