Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Alex M — 27 Oct 2016
The Hurt Locker is far more than just an average "war movie." Its cast - which includes the talents of Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, and Brian Geraghty - deliver performances that drip with surprising depth and emotion.
Kathryn Bigelow proves herself one of the best directors around, and the screenplay by Mark Boal is nothing short of brilliant. The film effortlessly switches from nail-biting sequences to heartbreaking ones, most notably the ending, which stands as one of my favorite endings in a movie to this day.
My favorite movie of 2009 and one of the most memorable I've ever seen, The Hurt Locker is nothing short of a masterpiece.
