Product Description
Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (summit) Release Date: 01/12/2010 Run time: 131 minutes Rating: R
Amazon.com
The making of honest action movies has become so rare that Kathryn Bigelow's magnificent The Hurt Locker was shown mostly in art cinemas rather than multiplexes. That's fine; the picture is a work of art. But it also delivers more kinetic excitement, more breath-bating suspense, more putting-you-right-there in the danger zone than all the brain-dead, visually incoherent wrecking derbies hogging mall screens. Partly it's a matter of subject. The movie focuses on an Explosive Ordnance Disposal team, the guys whose more or less daily job is to disarm the homemade bombs that have accounted for most U.S. casualties in Iraq. But even more, the film's extraordinary tension derives from the precision and intelligence of Bigelow's direction. She gets every sweaty detail and tactical nuance in the close-up confrontation of man and bomb, while keeping us alert to the volatile wraparound reality of an ineluctably foreign environment--hot streets and blank-walled buildings full of onlookers, some merely curious and some hostile, perhaps thumbing a cellphone that could become a trigger. This is exemplary moviemaking. You don't need CGI, just a human eye, and the imagination to realize that, say, the sight of dust and scale popped off a derelict car by an explosion half a block away delivers more shock value than a pixelated fireball.

The setting may be Iraq in 2004, but it could just as well be Thermopylae; The Hurt Locker is no "Iraq War movie." Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal--who did time as a journalist embed with an EOD unit--align themselves with neither supporters nor opponents of the U.S. involvement. There's no politics here. War is just the job the characters in the movie do. One in particular, the supremely resourceful staff sergeant played by Jeremy Renner, is addicted to the almost nonstop adrenaline rush and the opportunity to express his esoteric, life-on-the-edge genius. The hurt locker of the title is a box he keeps under his bunk, filled with bomb parts and other signatory memorabilia of "things that could have killed me." That none of it has killed him so far is no real consolation. In this movie, you never know who's going to go and when; even high-profile talent (we won't name names here) is no guarantee. But one thing can be guaranteed, and that is that almost every sequence in the movie becomes a riveting, often fiercely enigmatic set piece. This is Kathryn Bigelow's best film since 1987's Near Dark. It could also be the best film of 2009. --Richard T. Jameson

One Star for bad movie., 2010-09-04
Don't watch this movie. Don't rent it. Don't buy it. Give this movie one star.
This movie is terrible. It's not worth purchasing, either on DVD, Bluray, video on demand, iTunes, or even on bit torrent. It's not worth it. It simply isn't. I know this isn't much of a review, but it's all I'm offering. Nothing to see here folks. Move along. YOU! Keep your eyes forward. Don't look at the train wreck. It's too Gruesome. YOU! Cover those ears. Don't listen to it. It's awful. You should rather go deep in the wilderness and listen to the screeching of hoot owls and bagpipes. YOU THERE! Don't hit that button. You'll never get back the money or time you wasted on this movie. If you download it you'll just wear a bump in your hardrive. If you play the DVD it will burn out the laser. It's awful...
I'm not kidding folks. It will burn both your screen and your retina. You'll be seeing terrible blurry images when you close your eyes. You'll see white ghost like images that will either annoy you or make you cry. You'll be blind. Your blood will run blue on the floor and vampires will barf at the prospect of drinking your blood. You'll experience Rigor Mortis while still alive! It will be like having lockjaw but you'll be totally aware of your predicament. Yikes. You looked. You'll soon experience searing, burning pain due to your rank disobedience.
You were warned.
unconvincing, 2010-08-28
seen many war movies and this is not one of the better ones. it is still watchable with a fairly original theme about bomb squads. the movie is slow at times and what kept my attention are the various bomb situations. character development was ok but i don't really feel like rooting for any of the main characters. the most convincing scene is the first few minutes with guy pearce.
for me, this won't hold up to classics like 'das boot', 'braveheart', 'thin red line', 'platoon', 'last samurai', 'flags of our fathers', 'we were soldiers' etc
Horrible, Avoid it!!, 2010-08-28
Movie sucked, completely unbelievable. I apologize to our troops for the obvious ignorance of some American citizens. Characters were poorly put together as was the script. Special effects weren't even believable. In one scene, a car is supposed to explode from a bunch of explosives that are packed in throughout. Instead, the explosion looks like someone doused the car was doused with gasoline and had a match thrown at it. Don't waste your time...
This is just a plain and simple Hollywood action flick that "takes place" in Iraq, 2010-08-17
The movie was great if you're looking for an action flick. Kathryn Bigelow did a great job with her budget and the location was pretty spot on as to the look and feel of really being overseas in Iraq.
However my biggest problem was it being lauded as true experience of Iraq. I feel like the Academy members were nearly strong armed to vote for this film as in "If we don't vote for this, it'll look like we don't support the troops." This film is a far, far cry from a true experience in Iraq. 15 minutes into the first scene, I was ready to turn the film off because it simply wouldn't have happened. The insurgent with the cell phone detonator would have never had a chance to set off the bomb. Throughout the film, what really would have happened overseas is eschewed in favor of hollywodizing the experience. Again, this wouldn't have been a bad thing at all as many military focused films will do this. However this is touted as a very accurate depiction of troops overseas and it falls very, very short. Ultimately, it is just another action film dressed up in military fatigues so it would win awards
Boring waste of time, 2010-08-15
This movie sucked and the producers are now suing file sharers who cared to watch this filth. Vote with your wallet and don't buy the movie.
