Hurt Locker

Director – Kathryn Bigelow

Cast – Jeremy Renner, Ralph Fiennes

When you hear Hurt Locker, War is a Drug, you expect a war movie, you think about Thin Red Line, No Man’s Land, Enemy at the Gates and so on….Some amount of predictability, some biases and some pre conceived notions…

Well then Hurt Locker from the time it rolls, just breaks the conventions, well that’s what it did to me. Enter Jeremy, defy the conventions even more. The documentary like plot development sans melodrama does no longer hinder you from getting involved every bit on what’s happening. You can feel the heat and the palpable tension every minute.

All you could end up would be asking for more, well then, they said in the beginning, war is a drug…what did you expect?
