The Hurt Locker

The Hurt Locker is 2009 film starring Jeremy Renner and some other actors you've never heard of because it's a low budget film. The Hurt locker which I got at the redbox was pretty good, it wasn't too impressive but it showed you what the bomb squads in Afganistan do. The film impressed me in it's excellent acting but the screenplay was just a bit confusing.Jeremy Renner in the movie showed how to be the ultimate bad boy (bad meaning good) when dealing with bombs. The Screenplay won an Academy Award however the films really doesn't have much of a story to it, mainly a whole bunch of war situations while trying to put them together to make a so called film. However other than the complex screenplay the film was pretty decent. The Hurt Locker this year beat out Avatar of the Best Motion Picture Oscar at the Academy Awards, the question is, was it really that good? The answer is 'No', though the Hurt Locker was a good film it wasn't as worthy a film as it's competitors like Avatar and others who for reasons I couldn't understand didn't have a chance like Up In The Air, The Blind Side and An Education. Overall, The Hurt Locker gets a 4 out of 5 from me, good but got really boring at times with no real plot.
