Mr S @Jotaro 4d The story is good and balanced it worth to watch See more Per S @RT83737705 Mar 28 Absolute Propaganda! Utter BS, so be aware. Sorry to find such a brilliant actor and actually nice guy like Ralph Fiennes in the cast. The same could be said for Jeremy Renner. Awarding it an Oscar for best picture 2010 was a disaster. See more Miguel A. @miguelito_13k Mar 27 Great movie. Great acting. Keep you on the edge of your seat. See more Jenifer D. @Sierebel Mar 2 Shows some of the struggles and things these soldiers dealt with. Very intense scenes at times. Very good acting! See more Zane T @ZaneThind Feb 16 A departure from the typical war movie. Instead we get to see the personal toll of what the Iraqi war cost. We see more emotional beats rather than big battles and major typical explosions. Kathryn's direction on this is very good as she uses slow motion techniques to her advantage and shaky camera movements to make the viewer feel they are in the war themselves. See more Ray C @RT17651982 Feb 10 They really give Guy Pearce and Ralph Fiennes, like, five minutes of screen time each before killing them off. The Hurt Locker is solid—by no means phenomenal, and not nearly as good as some people make it out to be—but it’s undeniably a good movie. Jeremy Renner deserves way more credit as an actor, because he’s great here, and so are Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty. It’s a really talented and kind of underrated trio. The sniper scene in the middle of the film is absolutely the highlight, a perfect example of just how tense this movie can be. There are also a few emotional beats that really got to me, I won’t lie. It runs a bit long and can feel slow at times, but it’s absolutely worth watching. See more Read all reviews
