The Hurt Locker

The best way I can describe The Hurt Locker is: the best damn war movie I've ever seen.

Raw, authentic, and terrifying. You get an awesome sense of the feeling of helplessness experienced by troops in Iraq, The choice to focus on bomb technicians is a superb one, putting the viewer immediately at the heart of the worst part of the Iraq war.

The acting from the leads is amazing, and they're supported by several high-profile cameos that give the film an eerie sense of drifting among the other more flashy offerings in the genre.

This film is perfect, and everyone needs to see it.
