The Hurt Locker Movie Reviews, Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes

I hadn't heard anything about it until I saw a commercial last night - it hasn't been getting much press from what I can see. Seems like it might be a very good movie - the trailer was great, and it's getting some fantastic reviews. Follows an explosive ordinance disposal squad in Iraq as they deal with insurgents and destroying IEDs. Anyone seen it yet? Seems like it's had a bit of a weird staggered release, coming out in some theaters as early as a month ago, but just this week going into wider distribution.

There has been some talk about it. I thought it was not out until later this year.

I have only seen one or two previews for it. But I don't watch that much TV.

I have seen most of it. A friend of mine is in it and Tactical Response did firearms training for the main actors.

I enjoyed what I saw of it and I'll see it in full soon.

I saw it. I liked it. A lot more real feeling with some dead time and some fast time. The fast time is very well done.

I'm hoping to see it this weekend. It looks better than all the trash that's been released this summer.

Good movie.

Without giving anything away, I didn't really like 20 of the last 30 minutes.

Ah, thanks for the links. I did a search, but it turned up a whole lot of random unrelated stuff, so I didn't see those.

yup, found the Torrent a while back for my dad and cousin who were both EOD techs.
