The Hurt Locker

Films about the Iraq war have been known to not be successful with the public in recent years, and in most cases, this makes sense: The people go to the cinema, to which in reality are not preached, or to remember things that in other parts of the world. Films like Stop-Loss and The Lucky Ones than a political, and more than that, they deal with all the soldiers returned to their home back after serving in active service. Even though I am sure there are stories are here to say, it sounds a bit strange cutting of a soldier's life. I think I can understand why it is not more films than the modern war, set in the middle of the action, especially since it's so easy for the accused to be operating or glorifying violence. But the fact is that the war to make some incredibly dramatic and intense emotions, and veteran director Katherine Bigelow shares that this is fact. With his new film The Hurt Locker, she has the first Iraq-war film, this is really for entertainment first, and a meeting place for the movies of 2009.
Focuses on three members of the Bravo bomb disposal, follows the presentation of the arrival of Staff Sergeant William James Exercise (Jeremy Renner), an experienced, which leads to replace fallen comrades. During their first deployment, however, by the books Sergeant Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Eldridge naive specialist (Brian Geraghty) know that James is a bit of a wild card: fear of not yet predictable. Slowly over time they learn to trust others and to their work, but as a particularly horrible task leaves James shook the foundation for his impulsive nature finally throw their comrades in the encounter dangerous and unnecessary. The Hurt Locker is capable of both an action and excitement, which, without being pro-or anti-war because of its central characters are a group of soldiers who are in compliance with a very specialized. Its goal is to save lives, not take, even if some of the situations that they are not in the commitment to the arms. This film features scene after scene of tense, white ankle-bombing investigations, which are caught in commodities, camera bag. You feel the warmth of the sand and the pressure they are, not to mention the unbearable fear of the unknown. It is not anything to disarm the explosive device was built, but as one of the scenes, an unforgettable surprise attack by the elite shooters in the desert. During the casting includes a number of names, including recognizeable Ralph Fiennes, Guy Pearce, and Evangeline Lilly, they only play characters device that makes it possible to carry the film. There are also people like Jeremy Renner a chance to shine so far probably better known for his appearances in 28 Weeks Later and the assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford, and the short life ABC The unusual series. Here he plays a man of much faith and a little defeated, but not crazy or stupid. The scenes of the hold time between two tasks in support of the meat from these figures and to make credible. Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty Kontrapunkte big hit on performance, under control. It is a film that is independent enough explosions and feel like a big budget Fotostudio, but without compromising the character. Kathryn Bigelow directed Point Break and K-19: The Widowmaker (more worship Near Dark Vampire Strip), she knows how to get the audience in their seats She has no fear, to exaggerate a little fun and do not like the movie is not free of stereotypes action films, but they only season debates that without you from history. Only missteps in the whole film is an increase in the end, where the figure of Jeremy Renner decided to do something, the things in his own hands. It's a bit hard to swallow and realistic throws out the window, but fortunately it is quite short distracted, both exciting and important lead in one of the main themes of the film. With all the entertainment value, it is important that Hurt Locker is not stupid and completely empty. It is in the mentality of the soldiers, only their profession, by the survivors to another day. Her life is in the limbus and the real world is foreign to them after a certain time. It is not all wave flags, and it shows not the fingers, but it is up to you whether they are heroes or something else. The Hurt Locker is a film that is easy to recommend whole-heartedly, almost everyone, and everyone (well, maybe with the exception of the children ... It should be noted, R, after all). It is simply one of the best films of the war I have ever seen, which is somewhere between Black Hawk Down and the mini-series from HBO Generation Kill. It is a small film that deserves support, but he may be another blockbuster with this summer there purely for the adrenalin and the heart beat stress. If you have the chance to see what is happening on the big screen, leave yourself a favor and into the cold water. You will not be disappointed.
