OK Movie That Was Overlong

Rating: Null/10 (25 September 2010)

"The Hurt Locker" was good. I don't know why it gets the accolades it did, but it was good. Jeremy Renner was good, also. The Academy went bonkers over this picture but, folks, it is somewhat overrated. It was too long and not as compelling as reviewers would have you believe. There was some action interspersed with protracted episodes of talking which did the picture no credit.
But why was this such a tremendous hit with the media? I don't recall it was particularly anti-American. Unless I missed something it was , as I mentioned, just a good movie. Can it be that American movie tastes have become diluted and cheapened over the years? That's a loaded question, because the answer is YES.
