Manages to make practically every scene suspenseful

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 2018)

The Hurt Locker manages to make practically every scene suspenseful. It has a realistic feel (I'm a civilian, so I don't know better) and strong performances all around. It also had practically no political agenda, which is rare in Iraq-related films, and I appreciated that. However, they could have cut out a half-hour or so - it's a bit slow and repetitive.
