Teave selle filmi kohta

War is a drug. Nobody knows that better than Staff Sergeant James, head of elite squad of soldiers tasked with disarming bombs in the heat of combat. To do this nerve-shredding job, it's not enough to be the best: you have to thrive in a zone where the margin of error is zero, think as diabolically as a bomb-maker, and somehow survive with your body and soul intact. Powerfully realistic, action-packed, unrelenting and intense, The Hurt Locker has been hailed by critics as "an adrenaline-soaked tour de force" (A.O. Scott, The New York Times) and "one of the great war movies." (Richard Corliss, Time)

One of the most irresponsible military movies of all time! Very little of this movie resembled reality. Created an image of soldiers and the war that were beyond misleading.

Great movie all around. The one thing I appreciate is that is shows the different types of people that are out in the field - you've got the reckless ones (James), the ones who like to go by procedures (Samborn), and those that are new to it all (specialist). The other thing they emphasized was just how much of a violent, messy, and messed-up cycle the guys go through. In the ending it contrasts all the rest of the movie with the supermarket scene really putting things into perspective.

I wouldnt recommend. ALL Thumbs DOWN!
