The Badest Ass War Film Of This Millennium

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2009)

All I can say is that I hope to Christ this is the pilot for a cable drama because I would watch it week after week, religiously. This has to be the smartest, most engaging action film I've seen, jeez, I don't know, add in all the suspense and the lunacy and, well, maybe since Saving Private Ryan.
Mostly The Hurt Locker centers around the main character, a Lethal Weapon type bomb expert stationed in Iraq after a tour in Afghanistan during which he disabled over 800 road side bombs. He marches on in nearly suicidally and takes on every variation of explosive imaginable. This is a cinematic gem; you won't want it to end. When it ends, you'll be all like, man, it's over, now what.
Fantastic movie making. Entertainment, pure entertainment.
