The Hurt Locker

You know one of these films that you watch and feel nothing and would carry on feeling nothing for a few hours? Well it is definitely one of them.

There was sort of nothing good about the film, there was nothing that hasn't been done before, whether you take Jarhead or Full Metal Jacket. It's all about the camaraderie and the trust and dependence the soldiers share trusting their lives in the hands of their mates.

There seems to be nothing happening in the film. There is just some sand, and boots and a shell and a guy with explosives locked to his chest begging for help. And then there is dust, a football, more dust some wind and then a sniper taking your head off.

I didn't understand how it won more Oscars than Avatar... and I still don't. But it is just SO good. Why don't you do yourself a favor and go see it? If you don't, you will be angry at you and you won't like him when he is angry.
