Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
adonis98-743-186503 An intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge, by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat, behaving as if he's indifferent to death. The Hurt Locker is probably the most overrated and boring mess of a film i have ever seen in my life and unfortunately the good actors could not save it. (0/10)
paulclaassen Winner of 6 Oscars. Really?? No better films at the time? Too often too little happens. Tension builds to nothing. I don't enjoy the shaky camera work and still not sure what the film is actually about. Quite tedious, really.
twbond-00867 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 !!
phil-932-237806 A run and gun movie? Ha ha, Shockingly easily the worse shaky cam movie ever made, I thought Captain Phillips was bad but Jeeze, this is bad, very very bad! No point in wasting your time trying to watch it, unless you want a headache that is.
