The Hurt Locker
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow
Starring: Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty
Long story short, I liked it. I had no idea what it was about before I saw it, except that it was an Iraq war story. As it so happens, it's about a special team of people who disable bombs in a war zone.
This isn't a best picture. It's a well made film with excellent character development, which is actually the entire story. The very subtle plot is merely tool a to help justify why we're still focusing on these people. Although I will say that it was very interesting to watch...even without a plot to pee in.
Kudos to Kathryn Bigelow for rockin' out in a genre that doesn't normally see many women.
