Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Aaron C — 10 Apr 2013
An exceptionally well-made war picture that offers a unique and somewhat controversial view of a soldier's addiction to danger. It's unbearably tense at times, directed by Bigelow with impeccable craft.
Renner's character is your typical defiant rebel (and his pompousness can get obnoxious), and the film seeks to continually restate its thesis more than plumb it's depths, but "The Hurt Locker" is still powerful and engaging.
