Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Jasen L — 02 Sep 2012

I like that this is a movie about the war in Iraq that has very little political agenda... man I'm tired of everyone's opinion. This movie is about the job of being a soldier and really could be any modern war.

Lots of suspense and some gut wrenching, heart breaking moments that really portray the reality, tragedy and horror of war. I like that the cast was relatively unknown (Ralph Fiennes really sticks out like "oh shit whats Ralph Fiennes doing in Iraq?") The movie is to the point and doesn't waste anytime getting you deep into grit.

One last point, please enough with the shakey cam!!! it makes the experience nauseous and difficult to fully appreciate the movie.
