Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Rory R — 05 Oct 2012

An epic realistic war film about a bomb squad within the Iraq War. Every action scene is memorable due to its tense, isolated feeling, you get the true sense that war can be extremely blind and at some points your shooting at nothing just to defend yourself.

Jeremy Renner puts in an award winning performance which really put him on the map as an action star, and really fits the part. He perfectly depicts a man addicted to the thrills of war, and once getting into it, he just can't get back to the simplistic lifestyle back at home, as much as he forces himself to think that he can.

War becomes a part of a man's blood stream when they get too deep.
