Review:
Finally, we’re starting to hit the real films of 2009. This summer has been plagued by pretty lousy “event” films. Most of the pretty horrible and underwhelming. While I enjoyed G. I. Joe for what it was, The Hurt Locker arrives and shows us what a real war movie is. Kathryn Bigelow (Near Dark, Point Break) gives us her best work to date with The Hurt Locker, bringing us the best modern warfare film since 2001’s Black Hawk Down.
