Movie Review – The Hurt Locker (2008) – 2.5 Stars
I think I need to have a chat with Kathryn Bigelow to establish what message she was trying to send with this film. It seemed to be intended as homage to the heroic bomb disposal teams in Bagdad, highlighting the constant pressure that they work under. Instead, it came across as the epitome if why the USA should never have invaded Iraq. These guys work disarming bombs intended to kill them. If they weren’t there to begin with, then neither would the bombs be. It was a shame to be so disappointed in the movie after such a great trailer.
