The Hurt Locker

ممتاز

While not real, it sure feels real - which is what great movies do. One of the best movies I've ever seen.

An amazing movie

I'm glad that Hurt Locker got best film Oscar this year, beating all other nominees including
Avatar
The Blind Side
District 9
An Education
Inglourious Basterds
Up In The Air
Precious
A Serious Man
Of cause, many of the nominees got Oscars in other categories

Present day films about war seem to polarize viewers to some extent. I wonder what response this will have from Iranian people. The movie was very tense not only from the personal peril of disarming these devices but more from the threat of the triggerman in the vicinity waiting to kill.

Original, intense (maybe too intense), very realistic. Very interesting subject, but not a very enjoyable movie.

Extremely difficult to watch, and very depressing. Will not watch it a second time. Felt trapped in Iraq, and hopeless for all the humans over there. Excellent performances.

The Hurt Locker is a 2009 American war thriller directed by Kathryn Bigelow. Shot on location in Jordan and some scenes in Canada, the film is based on recently declassified information about a U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) (bomb squad) team in present day Iraq. The Hurt Locker is written by Mark Boal, a freelance writer who was embedded with a bomb squad.
The Hurt Locker has been picked up by distributor Summit Entertainment. The film is scheduled for domestic release in the U.S. on June 26th, 2009 in New York and Los Angeles, going wider in July. In Iraq, a U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit is forced to play a dangerous game of cat and mouse in the chaos of war in a city where everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb. Jeremy Renner plays the leader of the EOD team, as he contends with not only defusing bombs in the backdrop of a war, but also the psychological and emotional strain that it inflicts.
