Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Ricky H — 28 Jul 2012
Well-acted and perfectly directed war film/drama that makes you think. The shaky camera work will turn some people off but I did not find it bothersome. The scenes of bomb-work are intense and filled with suspense.
The emotion is real and Jeremy Renner is a great casting choice for the lead. Very deserving of all of the hype, although the Oscar for Best Picture seems a bit unwarranted. It was a great movie but not the best of the year.
A must-see for fans of war films, drama, and suspense thrillers.
