Re: Hurt Locker
Awesome movie, definitely worth seeing. Stays pretty political neutral, and just concentrates on the story.

Re: Hurt Locker
It was a pretty good movie, sniper scene seemed kinda off, not an expert though. Good action, very suspenseful bomb standoffs. On another note do not see inglorious basterds, not one of tarinino's better movies.

Re: Hurt Locker
Hurt Locker's a great movie, very entertaining. Not the most militarily accurate film, but it accomplishes the purpose, entertaining an audience. As in any movie, a person that does it in real life will obviously find all sorts of discrepancies. One part that is way off is when the SVBIED driver drives straight past a whole Army platoon without having a single shot fired at him, to be stopped by the EOD tech with his lonely M9, hahahaha... All in all a very decent movie however.

Just finished watching it on DVD with a combat vet, we both enjoyed it, and picked it apart. But it is a good flick.

Re: Hurt Locker
i seen some small previews a few months ago but my buddy new a guy who burned him a copy and he let me borrow it and it was a good movie i thought, but yeah the sniper seen was off, plus i thought it could have been a lil longer

Re: Hurt Locker
I did like the movie. The sniper scene may have been off but for what its worth I thought they did a better job than most films. Not that I've ever been in that situation.

Re: Hurt Locker
Worth a watch. Not a lot of hollywood political crap. The "Sniper" scenes were irritating. Still, a good solid war movie.

Re: Hurt Locker
I was in Fallujah in 06 and did EOD security. The IEDs depicted are identical to actual situations I experienced. However the tactics are completely wrong. We always cleared the immediate area and these guys just ran up to the IED like they were cowboys. We had bounties on our heads and weren't about to die for 80K.
Just pay attention to the situations and IED types the tactics are not even close. I have the movie and every time I watch it I get a rush but am calm at the same time. Have trouble sleeping that night though

Re: Hurt Locker
I liked Hurt Locker overall. Like has been said above, the cowboy antics of the EOD guys in cutting wires didn't match anything I saw the Navy EOD guys doing. Most IEDs were blown in place because it wasn't worth taking the chance for someone to get vaporized. And an E-5 busting an E-7's chops? Not likely.
The part that struck me was showing how much deployments get into your blood. The camaraderie, the sense of purpose, the adrenaline rush... that shit is hard to leave behind. The movie got that part exactly right, IMO.
