Review of The Hurt Locker (2008) by Jowell V — 26 Jul 2012

"The Hurt Locker" was the winner of Best Picture in the 2010 Academy Awards and Kathryn Bigelow won for Best Director as well and although it may have been a controversial win (What aren't?) it was an overall solid film.

The film focuses on troops in the Middle East and their constant struggle with day to day life and specifically focuses on a group of bomb technicians who put their lives at risk daily to save fellow soldiers.

All the actors here give great performances and the film is wonderfully captured and stunning to view in motion which all add up to a great film. In my opinion I think it deserved the win when compared to what else was up for the award and you have to see it in order to really grasp that!
