Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Elliot T — 09 Mar 2015
The Hurt Locker is a good example of why it's hard for me to enjoy modern war films. Unlike films about Vietnam or WWII, The Hurt Locker and others seem to focus more on some American supposed-to-be-badass-but-in-reality-is-ASU-fraternity-level-douchebag than the actual tragic beauty that every war has. This film actually had some good moments, but the aftertaste was unbearable.
The ending was so atrocious that it actually surprised me. I had some hope that it would end with him trying to pick out cereal, because that would have been an okay ending, but they just had to go and ruin it. They ruined it and that's all I have to say.
