Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Lasse G — 28 Mar 2016

Say hello to the most overrated movie of all time. This is a movie that got so much buzz because of the circumstances we were living in at the time, and with good reason. The movie has some well-made scenes, but unfortunately, the majority of the movie is just a poorly directed character arc, that doesn't work for me at all.

Jeremy Renner was never my favorite actor, even though I enjoy to watch him in movies. However, I thought that his performance in this movie was sloppy and incredibly unbelievable. Kathryn Bigelow is one of the best female directors that we have, and she does a good job with the movie, but I don't know if it was Oscar-worthy.

The movie is surely time for some people who like war-movies, but to me, it just didn't work.
