Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Dave M — 10 Feb 2013
A film concerning the Iraq war that is not over loaded with explosions, crude dialogue, or a one-sided moralistic tone, is welcome. Well done Kathryn Bigelow for this taut, technically gorgeous piece of cinema.
I said it is a film concerning Iraq but really it could be any war, as it is an interesting study of the effects of intense combat on soldiers, and how its psychological hooks go deep.
