Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Tc M — 17 Aug 2018

I had my worries the movie will be uneventful and a little boring, but it was far from that. It is action packed and tense. I previously saw some short parts of The Hurt Locker, so it diminished the tension a little bit for me, but the thrills and the feeling of possibility of death of a major character was still present.

The three main characters are well portrayed and we can understand their feelings. Even considering some cinematic machoism of the main hero, he still feels like a real and complex person. The movie is realistic in general, but the amount of action and the said dose of machoism tells us it's not a completely real war environment recreated. It is fast paced war action movie and it is pretty good.
