Yeah I thought The Hurt Locker was good but not earth shattering. Each set piece is great, but with little story or narrative to string them together it just feels like a collection of great set pieces. Loved the sniper battle. I enjoyed Generation Kill, a mini series by creator of The Wire which is also about the experience of soldiers in Iraq, much more.
