The Hurt Locker - Reviews

Forget the off-putting banner of another Iraq movie — go, watch, marvel, endure and book in the palliative of a stiff drink afterwards.

The tension is enough to make you slightly sick, and the overall mood of the thing is deeply dispiriting, but then, nobody ever said that war isn't hell.

...a spellbinding war film by Kathryn Bigelow, a master of stories about men and women who choose to be in physical danger.

...the best and most insightful anti-war film about Iraq...

We’re marking time before the final battle between Good and Evil, with the promised darkness sitting somewhat clumsily with teen romance and humour.

Jeremy Renner is a revelation in the lead and British cinematographer Barry Ackroyd builds unbearable tension...

...a commendably mature response to conflict.

...er solidarisk med tropperne uden at være blind for den brutalitet, der er konsekvensen af at balancere på livets kant hver eneste dag.

...så här mänsklig och likväl mäktig har fantasy inte varit sedan "Sagan om Ringen".
