The Hurt Locker-not to be missed!
Stig(The):
One film not "to be missed" & very relevent in todays climate is out on DVD & is:
THE HURT LOCKER
Based on the personal wartime experiences of journalist Mark Boal (who adapted his experiences with a bomb squad into a fact-based, yet fictional story), director Kathryn Bigelow's Iraq War-set action thriller THE HURT LOCKER presents the conflict in the Middle East from the perspective of those who witnessed the fighting first-hand -- the soldiers.
Tensely action-packed and muscularly directed by Kathryn Bigelow, this tale of an elite U.S. army bomb disposal unit in Baghdad is a familiar story in new clothes, targeted at the young male demographic
THE HURT LOCKER is a near-perfect movie about men in war, men at work. Through sturdy imagery and violent action, it says that even Hell needs heroes

TheLoveDoc:
I didnt think much of it lol... the hurt locker i mean

cardiffian:
Like you LoveDoc I didn't think too much of it. I don't think you are likely to get maverick bomb disposable guys these days. I believe they are psychologically profiled. The guy in the lead role was portrayed as a chancer and a bit mentally unstable if you ask me.
Anybody seen Body of Lies starring DeCaprio and Crowe? Good performance by a Brit Mark Strong as well.
