Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Aaron J — 25 May 2013

Explosive, dominating, an emotional firestorm, The Hurt Locker is just simply Brilliant. It's a packed adrenaline rush, filled with such crafty dialog by Mark Boal, and amazingly directed by Kathryn Bigelow, Jeremy Renner, I have to say gave the most soulful performance of the year,with such firey intensity that will have you be shocked and awe.

This film is just brilliantly casted, written, directed and photographed. This film gives you the reason to love war films. It's like Platoon but on a much bigger and better scale.I put this as one of the best war films with Saving Private Ryan, Patton, The Thin Red Line, Letters from Iwo Jima, and Flags of Our Fathers.

My pick this year for Best Actor at the Academy Awards is on Jeremy Renner.
