We had a thread on this last month I believe. It got mixed reviews from us. I liked it, would see it again, but didn't really see what all the Oscar fuss was about. Not as good as I had hoped, but still worth the time to watch. I give it a strong 7.

Definitely a good film.

[mechanic]

I enjoyed it, nothing exceptional but the combination of decent characters and good action scenes kept my interest while the deeper dark side of what the film is saying overall is quite profound of human nature. Would recommend watching it once to anyone.

Worth buying on DVD?

[68ZooM]

Well if its anything like the Kingdom ill like it, i thought that one was a good flick

Its more of a straight up Army recruitment film. It was a good movie though, but Oscar material? nah.

It was one of top rated movies last year, I think it beat Avatar rating wise.

Very entertaining, pretty gritty with good characters. Sometimes unbelievable.

I've now seen 3 EOD's review it and say it's a work of fantasy.

Nevertheless, worth a watch

I was hearing a lot about this movie, I heard some mixed reviews so I was curious, but then I remember hearing of this and decided to trust my favorite critic afterall and will wait to see it on dvd or TV: http://www.ahlanlive.com/19458-hurt-locker-producer-banned-from-oscars  Was big news here in town for a couple of weeks before the Oscars.

I liked it, the guys who been combat deployed in my unit....didnt.


I like the line just before the E-4 gets shot.

"We got 3 Infantry platoons behind us, all they want to do is go haji hunting." Not exact but that motivated me as an Infantrymen

[Vudak]

My friend does what they do in the movie in real life (although I certainly hope he's not so cavalier!)

I have no idea what he would think of it, but I thought it was a very good film, and oscar-worthy.  It's worth your money.

Meh - I thought it was a little boring...the only time it looked like it was going to get interesting was when they met Ralph Fiennes and the British mercs...but that only lasted a couple of minutes

Well tronsky, I really dont know why the director made those mercenaries acting like idiots. In the middle of nowhere, without any defence perimeter, they got shot like turkeys. Probably she wanted to make those contractors act like dweebs.
