It's certainly the most gripping action/adventure of the last few years. I’d be interested in knowing why no major distributor has picked it up.

I think it could do more than be a breakthrough for the subject matter; it should appropriately blow away the hurdle." Subject matter? Nothing to do with it. The problem is they're all anti-war peacenik propaganda disguised as movies. Make movies portraying our soldiers as the good guys and their mission as necessary and moral, and people will see your movie. “could leap over the supposed Iraq War film hurdle due to its action-heavy plot.

The Hurt Locker looks like BHD 2, and for me, that's a great thing. Black Hawk Down is a masterpiece of filmmaking.

Iraq still hits too close to home for some people. But you know, if you don't like it you could always go back to France. We tend to shy away from controversy on this side of the pond, fella.
