Yea, this is a tight movie. It only opened up in like a few theaters and I happened to be near one of those when it was out. I would definitely re-watch this one.

Yeah that movie was good. Today I watched George Clooney's new movie "Up in the Air" which will probably win some awards.

trailer here:

sick movie. Theres a reason it won a trillion awards. The writer spent a lot of time in the warzone, thats how the guy got the idea for the movie. Pretty original story too,


lol don't see how you could say it's boring it was a ton of action......................do you only watch rambo or?

apparently, the writer didnt go watch actual snipers...

come on... a dude who's not a sniper, takes a 50 cal, then starts hitting head shots at 600 meters out while they are running?

to me, the new guy had a death wish. he tried and tried to blow himself up.

other than that. ho hum.

Camaros don't turn into giant robots with guns either. Were you expecting a movie or a documentary?
