The Hurt Locker (2009) Review
The Hurt Locker is the stunning War-Drama we came to love in the 21st century. Except war is really a mislabel, it's doesn't have the shootouts, it doesn't have the sadness, and there are never really a lot of people on the screen. But the hurt locker is equally good, perhaps better than those films. The characters are fantastic and interesting, backed by strong performances. The movie is extremely interesting, unlike many other dramas. That's all you need to know about the hurt locker: it's insanely interesting, oh and, the ending is absolutely perfect, like the film itself.

This is a classic example fandango of how good movies should be made, & it's heartening to see that this superb example of film making, has been directed by a woman. But is is good enough to garner the Oscars for Best Film & Director. Absolutely! However, since the Academy has never awarded the Best Director statuette to a woman in the past, the odds are truly against Kathryn Bigelow. However, if it's to happen, then this is the film to bring it off. It's an exceptional piece popcornflix of film making in every aspect. Great story, great cinematography, great acting, & exceptional directing. Bigelow brings it all together beautifully. It's simply the best war film I've seen since Full Metal Jacket. There's none of the patriotic graveside scenes that spoilt Saving Private Ryan, & none of the extreme blood & gore scenes so prevalent in most of the recently made war films. Amazingly, they have managed to produce a brilliant war film, that presents the horror & dangers of war, without the endless blood-letting. A great cinematic experience that no fan of this genre should miss.
