The Hurt Locker
4/10
It was alright. I wasn't crazy about the documentary style filmmaking. I understand they probably chose to do the hand-held look to make this seem more raw and real, but I felt it was a distraction from everything else that was going on. I also noticed some really bizarre editing mistakes that are just huge no no's. Like they would cut to something and then repeat the cut and some how expect no one to notice that it's the exact same action repeated again in the exact same shot. The plot I wasn't crazy about either. After a while I grew bored of them disarming bombs. They pretty much kill off anyone in the film who was interesting. This film fails in comparison to other war films like Apocalypse Now, Tigerland and Fullmetal Jacket.
