“Iu0026#39;ve been reading a lot of the comments on this website from people and I donu0026#39;t understand what they are coming from. Calling it overrated and inaccurate. Donu0026#39;t believe a word. All the awards, honors, #1 spots The Hurt Locker has gotten, it deserves it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film explores the clichéd u0026quot;War is hellu0026quot; approach, but in a totally different way. We explore our characters and they do act like many army men. Anthony Mackie as Sergeant Sanborn is the normal army man who shows no emotion until the film ends. Brian Geraghty as Specialist Eldridge is the kind of army man who questions about whatu0026#39;s going on there. The only one different from the pack is Jeremy Renner as Sergeant James. Heu0026#39;s an adrenaline junkie, and he plays his character so well. He definitely deserved his Oscar nomination.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe direction is so good as well. The way this film was shot is like you are there, in the action, experiencing what the characters are experiencing. The film taps into humanitarianism.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI also really enjoyed the cameos from Guy Pearce, David Morse, and Ralph Fiennes. I know some people have complained about this, saying they didnu0026#39;t have enough time, but theyu0026#39;re cameos. Thatu0026#39;s why they are so short.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMany films have been made about the War in Iraq…very few have been as good as The Hurt Locker. Overall, in my opinion, this was the best film of the year and one of the best films possibly ever.”
