Goddamn, this movie is THE shit. Seriously, it's about this bomb squad, stationed in the middle east, and it's from the same director of one of the greatest movies of all time (Point Break).

Tense, this movie is tense, it's exciting, it's really freaking badass, and there's a really sweet sniper sequence, so if you're into that shit, you'll love it.

There's not much to say about the movie without spoiling the action, so just go watch it, if you can.

Actually there isn't much of that going on at all. There ain't much of a "buddy" thing going on during the movie.

i dunno, it has a duder with a douchecut lookin right out the box at me, and the imagery screams call of duty

bromosexuality embodied seems so

Director of Strange Days, writer of Near Dark, and smart enough to dump James Cameron, but you reference POINT BREAK?

Someone with with photoshop skills should change the title to The Rape Dumpster. You'll know when you're in it.

I still think the tittle sucks, also who is that guy in the poster? I don't remember him in the movie.

ManaByte · « **Reply #19 on:** March 08, 2010, 02:33:05 AM »

The title refers to what happens to one of these guys if they mess up. "He got sent to the Hurt Locker".

It's also where Green Shinobi is right now.

I felt similar to how I feel about Saving Private Ryan, in that the set pieces were great but the character stuff in the downtime didn't work as well for me.

Still, it's an awesome action/suspense movie.

In what universe was Point Break even a good movie, let alone one of the best of all time?

Green Shinobi · « **Reply #24 on:** March 08, 2010, 04:39:32 AM »

Yeah. It didn't suck, but it was pretty average in all respects. Almost like a way shittier Donnie Brasco.

Green Shinobi · « **Reply #25 on:** March 08, 2010, 05:10:41 AM »

I'll watch it again. Maybe I'll like it more with a second viewing.

Point Break is brilliantly directed, wildly implausible, both intentionally and unintentionally.

I've enjoyed every film Bigelow has directed, and Near Dark is criminally underrated. It makes you wonder how much more successful she would have been if she had, y'know, a penis instead of a vagina. But 'dems the breaks.

Dude. Near Dark is fantastic, and it caused me to want to get with Ms. Bigelow. Then Tremors came out and she reinforced her stature as one of the most creative and interesting action directors out there. Somehow I missed that Hurt Locker was her film until I saw her standing there with the Oscar on the news. Now I can't wait to see it.

She hasn't done very well for herself since she split with Cameron. The only movie of hers since then that I can actually say is awesome is Raising Cain.
