Ironically, I'd say this is better than The Hurt Locker...


... which is very strange, considering the fact that this got nominated for nothing and nobody remembers it, while The Hurt Locker is on every awards list, is at the top of most critics' choices, and is getting plenty of Oscar buzz. I don't get it. This is just my opinion, of course.

I agree. I found this more entertaining.

Agreed. I've been to Iraq and THL didn't connect with me on any level whatsoever. Not saying that I'm some CIA badass like Leo is in this movie, but I feel like BoL captures the feeling of the Middle East better.

It was certainly less disappointing, but I wouldn't say it was better. Neither is really worth watching, IMHO.
