Weekly Movie Review: The Hurt Locker

[Relaxing Dragon]

In defense of the scene of him sneaking out into the night, it was meant to show what a dumb-ass move that would be in real life. He's lucky he didn't get kidnapped or killed (which is even addressed a bit later in the film when he tries it again, with the rest of his squad).

I can't comment on the accuracy very much either, but from what I understand while a lot of the details in the movie are inaccurate for military life, the general tone of the movie is dead-on. Still need to get my Marine buddy to see it to know any better than that, though.

Still, amazing movie either way. Some of the defusing scenes are tense as hell, no doubt. Here's hoping it takes Best Picture on Sunday (since District 9 doesn't have a chance, sadly).
