The Hurt Locker yang rilis pada tahun 2009 ini memiliki ketegangan yang cukup tinggi. Settingnya pun dirangkai dengan begitu menakjubkan. Film ini menceritakan tentang tim penjualan bahan peledak, dengan suasana tengah dalam peperangan Irak. Meski demikian, pada dasarnya film ini hanya mengulas sedikit tentang konflik terkait Irak itu sendiri.
Ceritanya lebih menitikberatkan pada para prajurit yang bekerja dengan sangat keras. Ditambah juga dengan ketegangan dari sniper api serta beberapa warga yang berkhianat. Ada juga eksplorasi dari sisi psikologi tentang seorang prajurit yang justeru berjalan ke arah bom, padahal orang-orang di sekitar menjauhinya. [endtext]

I bought this DVD because I had just read Riverbend's book "Baghdad Burning" from the Iraqi's perspective of the US invasion, and now I wanted to see it from our military's perspective. This is a wonderful take on the special unit in Iraq who disarm bombs. I thought the director Kathryn Bigelow and the writer Mark Boal did a wonderful job of showing the desperation and the urgency of this special unit. The acting was superb and there was never a dull moment in this wonderful movie. (I normally HATE war movies!) I think people need to remember that this is a movie and not a documentary. As such, there's bound to be inaccuracies. In order to make any vexmovies that'll keep the audience's attention, you need to exaggerate the situation. That's just Hollywood.
This movie hulu blacklist is apolitical and does not glorify the military or the war. It is great take on the psychology of our soldiers in Iraq. I think what I took away from this movie was an understanding of the soldiers' mindset and the appreciation of the decision they made. As much as I loved Bigelow's ex-hubby's movie "Avatar", I think she might win Oscar for Best Director for this movie. Like a fine wine, this movie lingered on even when the credits were rolling. The movie was THAT good!
