Among the Best War Movies Ever Made

Rating: 8/10 (1 March 2010)

In my lifetime, I have seen many of the best war movies. These include Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan, Apocalypse Now and many others. I can definitely say that "The Hurt Locker" is definitely up there with the best of all time. The movie latches onto you right from the beginning and doesn't let go till the very end. You can call this a war movie, and on the surface it most certainly is, but it The Hurt Locker attempts to be different in certain ways in comparison to other movies, and definitely succeeds. I am not saying that it is the most realistic movie that everybody says it is, but I do not think that making it a realistic war movie was what it wanted to do. I believe that the movie looked at war in a way that no other movie has done before, and that is what makes it so special.
A definite must see for anyone who is old enough. 8/10
