After a short time away on Holiday [ read prison - ED] i'm back at samboosa.net to write a movie review.
I recently acquired The Hurt Locker from Bit Torrent my local DVD store and decided to watch it on my home entertainment system/laptop.
My, what a great film. Truly a great film. I don't know who the leading actor is but he looks a little bit like that guy from that teen drama series about a bad boy who moves into a town full of rich people in California. Anyway, this film is basically a war movie set in a fictional country called "Iraq" which apparently the Americans have moved to.
So aside from being a war movie, this film is also an action film. But here comes the clever bit; Instead of the hero blowing stuff in order to save the day, our hero unblows stuff up in order to save the day. Throughout the film, he is continuously unblowing things up. In order to accommodate this bizarre take on action films, the writers of the Hurt Locker have come up with the novel concept of a "Bomb disposal unit". Truly an original idea.
The tension in the film is extreme and the action scenes of things being unblown up are fantastic. WIth superb dialogue, set-pieces, and great leading actor, this film is a gem.
4/5 samboosas
