The hurl locker

Rating: 1/10 (5 February 2010)

I saw "Hurt Locker" the other night and thought it was a major disappointment. I'm not sure what the hype is all about. The movie tells the story of a war lover. It's a story that's been told a thousand times before, but in much more effective ways.
In addition, I would call this the worst kind of war porn. Much of the action made no sense, and more importantly, was militarily inaccurate. And I say this strictly from a civilian's perspective. I could tell when I was watching it that the action didn't ring true. It was only afterwards, when I sat down to read some of the reviews written by combat veterans that I had my suspicions confirmed. This movie is FUBAR.
I can't help but feel that most of the hype generated about this movie stems from the fact that this was an action flick directed by a woman. Sorry Ms. Bigelow, you won't get that kind of pass from me. You're confined to quarters.
