The Hurt Locker

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2012)

I found this movie extremely entertaining and well made. I was looking few some of the comments before I decided to review this movie, and I have something to say to those people who think that this is the most overrated movie of all time. It is not. And for those people who rated it one star that it is overrated: It is not the movies fault. There are many movies that I find incredibly overrated and yet I still like the movies-like Avatar or Inception for example. Very overrated. People talked about these movies for months after their initial releases. I grew sick and tired of all the talk, but that does not mean I hated the movie. It bothers me how people just find a movie that they think is overrated and then blame it on the movie. Grow up. I mean this movie only made 12 million dollars. Movies that people think is over overrated made three times that much.
But, as for the Hurt Locker, I actually find it a little underrated. People still do not know much about this movie, and they should. The cast, led by the talented Jeremy Renner, are great. The story is wonderful. The direction is terrific. I am not a soldier in Iraq, so i do not know how accurate this is to real like, but Mark Boal, the writer, went to Iraq for his research and literally went to where the action took place. So, well done to Mark Boal.
A terrific movie that Kathryn Bigelow made.
10 out of 10
