Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Élizabeth R — 15 Aug 2013

I've read a lot of reviews that used the term "raw" to describe this and I can see why. It's not a film that has a typical intro, climax, and denouement. While there are certainly atrocities depicted, I saw this as a more thinking man's war movie as is seemed to explore the more psychological aspects of modern war.

There is no pat resolution. It is not a pretty movie with a clean and tidy ending, but war never is.
