Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Angelina C — 15 Jul 2013
This one gets a 5 stars from me. By far, one of the best war movie of all time. Overwhelmingly TENSE that sometimes I forget to breathe from one terrifying scene to another more terrifying scene. The hurt locker is not a typical gun blasting combat movie but the mania of diffusing bombs under extreme circumstances in war torn Iraq(filmed in Jordan, country next to it) Th direction from Kathryn Bigelow was downright realistic and damn well near perfect.
The Hurt Locker is structured around the 38 days the three men in the EOD (for Explosive Ordnance Disposal) squad have left in their rotation in Iraq. Men like Spc. Owen Eldridge (Geraghty) know all too well that every new day is potentially one they will not survive.
They all want to avoid the hurt locker, the place where bad things happen. The 3 male leads especially Jeremy Renner, brought such unchallenged performances along with some special guest cameos by Guy Pearce, David Morse and Ralph Fiennes.
This is a must see film and easily the best of 2009. Whoever says transformers 2 the best, I will hurt you!
