Yes. I really enjoyed it. A good movie about the war that had no political message.

Yeah, the ending was really good. I was kinda surprised the person who wrote this also wrote In The Valley of Elah since that, I guess, was an Anti-American film.

Two other military films I would suggest are Rules of Engagement with Samuel L. Jackson and We Were Soldiers with Mel Gibson.

Cool. I haven't seen either of those, I'll probably try to check them out.

And don't forget Charlie Wilson's War, about resisting the Soviets in Afghanistan.

I'll heartily second both of those.

Haven't seen or even heard of The Hurt Locker, though- what's it about?

Then I definitely gotta check them out lol.

It's about a Explosive Ordinance Disposal team in Iraq. It shows their daily challenges and what life's like for them.

"The Hurt Locker is a riveting, suspenseful portrait of the courage under fire of the military’s unrecognized heroes: the technicians of a bomb squad who volunteer to challenge the odds and save lives doing one of the world’s most dangerous jobs. Three members of the Army’s elite Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squad battle insurgents and one another as they search for and disarm a wave of roadside bombs on the streets of Baghdad-in order to try and make the city a safer place for Iraqis and Americans alike."
