you've got to be kidding

Rating: 4/10 (28 February 2010)

this has got to be a joke. I watched this movie only because I heard bigelow got the British equivalent of the best director award. are you kidding? shaky cam and slow focus cam are the type of crap you expect to see from some douche making an 'arty' amateur video. the 'story' of a loser who only feels alive disarming bombs is just stupid. would the military really allow putting team members in jeopardy repeatedly for one obscure loser? if you want to see what this movie was intending to be story wise, watch the deer hunter. or generation kill. if this movie wins ANY Oscars then it just goes to show how foolish the academy is. this is not a good movie, not a good story, not entertaining, and not well directed. if you're going to wait to see who gets blown up its in the beginning and the ending of the movie. otherwise wait to see ralph fiennes show up unexpectedly. there's nothing else to see here. move along please.
