The Hurt Locker

An amazingly close to reality film about life for soldiers in Iraq**. The focus is on special bomb unit soldiers that risk their lives every day. The one factor that makes this movie stand out is that it slows time in certain situations to make you feel as though you are there. There is no rush to get to 'Act II' just so the viewer is constantly involved in something new - I love the way that was done.

** I say it is close to reality, but I'm not a soldier in Iraq, I can only assume from reports that it is like this. It will be good to have soldiers who actually served in Iraq who have also seen this movie verify how realistic it is.

This was better than I expected the movie is true to the war situation like JB siad but then again I'm not there to vouch for it. As for the emails the producer was just too excited and started to get greedy and that might of cost him. Good films aren't always about budget.

The Hurt Locker

It was great to see the amount of awards The Hurt Locker took at the Academy Awards including Best Motion Picture, Best Director and others. It is ashamed it did not get the kind of promotion it deserved when was first shown.
