The Hurt Locker
The Hurt Locker is a great movie. It’s so gritty and real… Ahaha, just kidding, it sucks.
Imagine a world where George Bush’s stuttering and Obama’s cool sunglasses mean that the war film genre is given a whole new spin… oh right, you’ve imagined it, okay. The Hurt Locker tries so hard to be ‘real’ I kept expecting the characters to suddenly burst out with, “Oh my gosh, how gritty and forlorn is this non-CGI situation I’m in right now!”
I can’t give any spoilers, as nothing actually happens in the movie. It’s like it tried to be a documentary. But it wasn’t, it was fiction. It was a film, but not entertaining either. All it did was implore you to feel the awesome weight and burden and terror and futility of war–whatever that is when it comes to you from the silver screen.
Intensely boring.
