Behold The Intensity of 'The Hurt Locker'

I took in a viewing of the critically lauded film The Hurt Locker this week, and needless to say, it was VERY intense. I pretty much needed a nap afterwards. But that’s a good thing. (My friend IndianJones was in such a state of suspense that he actually sat upright like an alert cat during a good portion of the movie.) Oddly enough, despite the critical raves, there doesn’t seem to be much of a marketing campaign for the movie, but the studio has released the first eight minutes to the internet to whet people’s appetites. Cinematic purists probably shouldn’t watch this (it’s much better on the big screen), but if you’re curious about the movie or don’t know anything about it, this clip will certainly fill you in.
Be warned — lots of cussing.

  1. I can’t wait to see this, it’s been on my list of summer movies for a while now. It’s only at the art-house theater (read: uncomfortable seats) and I’m waiting for it to move to the “good” theater. Hope it’s soon. So did you like?

  2. What? I demand a tag for this, given I was there and had to suffer through a parking validation NIGHTMARE.

  3. You know, I’m not obligated to mentioned you and jash EVERY SINGLE TIME I do anything with you guys.
    But IndianJones, you have been falling quite behind in the tag tally; so I’ll give you one out of pure pity.

  4. pity tags should be asterisked.
    That movie is intense. I didn’t realize I was holding my breath most of the time.

  5. I agree with hb (always a smart thing to do). Problem is this will never come to my town.

  6. Great, great movie. So, so tense. Jeremy Renner really needs to get a Best Actor nomination next year. The only thing I didn’t like was when I said to myself, “Is that Evangeline Lilly?” Took me out of the movie a bit.
