Or in at least one of the Saw movies.

I don't think so. I'm going out on a limb because I have seen every episode of The Unit probably 16-20 times minimum and I would hate to be wrong, but I cannot recall any episode with an exploding (or any) neck collar. They did have a few where bombs were strapped to people (like the sick CIA agent turned human bomb) though.

You're right.  It wasn't The Unit.  It was Flashpoint.

I think I saw that one. Great show, haven't followed to much in these newer seasons but 1 and 2 were great. I saw one not long ago where they took out a guy who was after a young girl on a playground, was a good one.

Saw it.  I think we were going to be disappointed no matter how it turned out because it could never be better than the book.  I will say, however, they were very true to the book.  I think it was well done and it is having a MASSIVE first weekend. 

Overall, 9/10.

Saw it. Meh. I don't know why.

I always have trouble with watching movies after I've read the book. I just don't know what to do with them. I guess a large part of my movie enjoyment is not knowing what's going to happen.

In this case, I guess they did a good job, but it felt a little too methodical, a little too much like the district 12 ambiance throughout the whole movie. I left it feeling very gray.

Can't really grade it. I have no idea. Good movie I guess. Certainly not bad.

Stop reading books that are libel to be made into movies.

Read more books so you can use "libel" in the right sentences
