The Hurt Locker


I know there is a lot of hype for this film, and sometimes that can ruin a movie due to expecting too much. But for me, The Hurt Locker really delivered. I Was expecting a graphic war movie. What was delivered, really surprised me. There wasn't the use of blood and violence for plot fillers. Instead it followed three soldiers and their emotional experiences during a period of the Iraq war. "War is a drug", is the theme of the movie and that really resonated in the writing. I won't give anything away, but it was very deep, and intense. Kathryn Bigelow has my respect.
