Thoroughly enjoyable.

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2009)

The Hurt Locker is, quite simply put, a masterpiece. The suspense and action flow from the screen and enlighten what what we are witnessing before us. The cinematography is pitch-perfect and allows the audience to be captivated by it. The shaky, nerve jaggling effects used are placed well and keep you on the very edge of your seat. The action sequences, well, they are something else. The carefully detailed constructed set pieces are delivered with much brilliance and skill that they are bound to be caught within your mind for quite some time. The smart, quirky dialogue captures the essence and gives the audience something to laugh with.
