Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Jason D — 26 Mar 2013

Gripping and tense throughout, perhaps a little too much without offering any intervals. The Hurt Locker really dwells on fascinating character development. and ask the important question of what war may do to someone more than just physically or psychologically, but in some ways spiritually.

William James crosses this line and falls in love with his job that could kill him anytime, but it is also the very joy that he seeks. Each character, or in a broader sense, each soldier has their own "hurt locker" hidden somewhere, you can either keep trying to hide it, or you could open it and really let it kill you.
