The Hurt Locker

This movie was awesome - it's another one that makes you feel everything the characters are feeling. The fact that it's about a war that is still currently going on makes it even more personal. It's VERY intense. As the movie goes on, they show you how many days they have left before they go home, which ups the intensity even more. I really liked the cinematography - it's very gritty and raw and therefore seems real. Who knows if how the movie looks is close to what it really looks like, but it seemed pretty believable to me. Besides dismantling the bombs, you also get a little of the struggle that comes along with being a soldier, like being so scared they start going a tad crazy, and feeling like they're coming home a totally different person. I can't imagine what that must be like, and this movie gives you a heaping dose of that reality. It's pretty violent and gory in a few parts, but if you can handle that I'd say - CHECK IT OUT.
