There haven't been many films about the Iraq war and the ones that have been made suddenly pale in significance to
The Hurt Locker. One of the most believable and moving war films I have ever seen.
The Hurt Locker follows a bomb disposal team on the ground in Baghdad. It shows the unease in the city coupled with clashes of culture and language barriers between Iraqis and the occupiers. Tense and utterly convincing the film deals with the impression war leaves upon the soldiers. The thrill of war and heroism is a drug so strong, is there ever really any rehabilitation for those who have been there? A must see, no description will ever do this film justice.
