Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Tazio G — 25 Jul 2012
Staff Sergeant William James: There's enough bang in there to blow us all to Jesus. If I'm gonna die, I want to die comfortable.
"War is a drug".
A very intense war film by Kathryn Bigelow. In my opinion The Hurt Locker may have a little to much praise in my opinion, but it's still a really good war flick. The film has some tremendous cinematography and slick visuals, but come on best picture over Avatar? The story is painfully realistic and maybe the best dramatization of the Iraq War. It's kind of slow in parts, but it pays off due to it's suspense and well-acted performances by Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, and Brian Geraghty along with some big names like Guy Pearce and Ralph Fiennes. The Hurt Locker is a good film war overall, but still people are overpraising it and it's not the best war film.
