I saw a commercial for this film the other day and it hooked me.
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hurt_locker/seems like what Jarhead tried to accomplish but fell short. Anyone else intrigued?

I thought jarhead was boring as all hell, im still waiting for something to happen, i guess i just expected more from it.
This movie looks pretty good though, ill give it a shot.

I don't really think Jarhead should be in the same conversation.

I'll see any film directed by the woman who directed POINT BREAK!
"Special agent Utah! This is not some job, flipping burgers at the local drive-in! Yes! - your surf board bothers me! Yes! - your approach to this whole damn case bothers me! And yes! - YOU BOTHER ME!"

Damn, they might be the same movie. Just sub out burgers and surfboards for bombs and guns.

I saw it about a month ago, and I'm still thinking about it. It's a great movie, with a high level of believable stress and danger. Tons of atmosphere and action (it was shot in Jordan, and Bigelow used four or five cameras to capture the big action scenes).
I love movies, I love going to see movies in the theater. It's disconcerting to me that most of the movie going audience will pay to see Crapmeister Bay's Transformers 2, but a great action movie like this, will have a smaller audience.
The Hurt Locker is a great action movie, and one of the best movies about war I've seen in a long time. Sooner or later, a female director is going to win the Best Picture Oscar. I'd be really happy if it were this movie.
