A great war movie about not getting enough.

Rating: 7/10 (7 November 2015)

The Hurt Locker follows a bomb disposal unit through the last couple of months through their last tour. We get to see the dangers of bomb disposal and because of this premise, it lends itself well to create a lot of tension. The tension is made possible through great performances, decent writing and good direction by Kathryn Bigalow. What I think makes this movie so great is the theme behind the film, I won't spoil it, but the theme is something to reflect on and apply into your own life. This movie goes for a realistic, gritty approach. Which I think is it's biggest flaw. The military inaccuracies were blatant for me, and took me out of the movie. Overall, we have a movie while it isn't my favourite from the year 2009, it is certainly one of the best.
