Quick Sketch Review: The Hurt Locker


The hurt locker, is a great action movie, it does not even need to be set in Iraq. That is not a bad thing, but it needs to be known that this is in almost no way a political movie, nor does it try to make a statement. It only tries to make you tense and nervous...and it succeeds wonderfully. This movie is one intense sequence after another. A military bomb squad in Iraq going to assignments when a roadside bomb is suspected or seen is a set piece for some of the most intense action you'll see in any movie. Once you see it, you'll see what all the hype is about. This movie is like knowing you're going to get a spanking and the switch has been drawn back in the striking position and waiting for it, but you're not sure if mom will reconsider. that is this movie from beginningh to end. (You have to see my Inglorious Bastards review to get the context.)
