The Hurt Locker (2009)

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Yeah see subject. I enjoyed it, but I expected a whole lot more from the amount of awards this movie won, especially over Avatar. And this girl really does enjoy a good war film.

Overall a good movie but not worthy of winning best picture in my opinion. Having spent time in the sandbox, I thought the portrayal of the military lifestyle was lacking a sense of reality and had way too much hollywood flavor mixed in. The characters were cast pretty well and the story had drama that made it interesting. I was just left feeling empty and not moved by the overall them of the movie. I would watch it again and you should form your own opinions, but don't expect an oscar winning performance with this one. Reviewed: Marcus Drew - Bell Gardens, CA

After reading about all of the accolades and critical acclaim this movie has reveieved I thought I would give it a watch. After all war is one of my favorite genres in cinema. When the credits finally rolled I thought to myself "there's no way this was the same movie I read about." What I thought would be a well crafted war epic was a boring excuse of a movie completed with one dimensional characters and not to mention all of the inaccuracies of military tactics. If you're anything like me and you love war movies, please don't watch this movie

A completely, thrilling movie that has to be one of the best war movies ever to of been put on screen. It has a story that never fails to disappoint an audience, and an absolute amazing performance led by the fantastic, top-notch A-Lister, Jeremy Renner.It takes an incredible look on the war of Iraq, and focuses very deeply on the synopsis the movie has to offer. It's superb groundbreaking effects makes this energising war movie, a movie that we must never forget, and to appreciate those who are doing this for the good.It is clearly a must-see, and it is a movie that everyone must learn about, the heart of what happened in Iraq along with it's fictional story, and it has to be by far one of the best war movies in this decade.A MUST WATCH !!
