Film School Rejects: Exclusive: New ‘Hurt Locker’ Photo Will Blow You Away

    been out in europe for a while. it's an interesting movie to be sure, but beware any marketing effort trying to sell it as an action film. there's next to no action, and not that much suspense either. it's more quiet and contemplative.

    there is some action and suspense in there...maybe not enough for yourself...but there is a large amount of suspense when defusing bombs...unless this is your profession...there are also a couple of shoot out scenes as well..I wouldn't mind if they try to market this as an action flick...there's just as much "action" as there was in Point Break..to be honest I'd like to see a sequel...

    I am troubled by the fact that a number of the people involved have helped to make a number of anti military movies like "Jarhead" and "In the valley of Elah".

    I think Neil has been drinking the Kool-Aid spiked with a decent amount of vodka. I haven't heard someone that excited for a film since Pirates 2: Stagnetti's Revenge came out on Blu-ray.

    I thought the trailer clearly identified the film as bordering on unrealistic (the rogue/loner/wildcard breaking all sorts of rules to get the job done - those guys get shelved fast, or killed). I'm also of the mind it will probably be like Jarhead and In the Valley, that is, it will be boring and not all that good.

    I forgot to mention that both of the movies I stated were also major snore fests.

    Just saw this last night. It is the opposite of Jarhead.

    That is a good thing. 'Boredom' should never be a theme of a movie.

    This is a solid film. We were fortunate enough to see a screening of it last year and have had our review up on in for a while. If interested, click below to read that.

    This is an exciting movie, one to look out for.

    couldn't be any more opposite of Jarhead...it felt like a mix of Body of Lies meets Point Break if that means anything...I've seen it twice and now again tonight...there aren't many dull moments
