The Hurt Locker, directed by Kathryn Bigelow, documents what most
filmmakers are afraid to document. A story about the Iraq War. I
really haven't seen a film about this controversial current event ever
since I started watching movies. Focusing mainly on one company,
Bravo. Jeremy Renner stars as the cocky, rude, and adrenaline-pumped
bomb squad member in
it done. His squad leader is usually uptight and by the book, so
obviously you'll see some sparks fly. Renner's character is addicted to
the life or death situations and really draws the audience in with his
believable performance. But the real draw for me wasn't the acting but
the fantastic cinematography and directing. Almost every moment was
intense and exciting and I was always at the edge of my seat.
The Verdict: With violence, drama, and even little comedy sprinkled
in, there's enough for everybody here. It even raises a few questions
about the war itself. All in all, The Hurt Locker is a movie that you
really need to see to believe. I give it 4.5 game show sniper kills out of five. 4.5/5.
