i rent this film on netflix after it win all the oscar and to see if it be really that good . the hurt locker be a very realistic portrayal ( for the most part ) of a group of soldier rotation in iraq . the film center around will jam and a reckless soldier who get his adrenaline fix from take risk and and defuse bomb . where this film seem to lack in my opinion be the plot and direction of the movie . this film have no clear plot unlike other film such a black hawk down . what this film try to do be focus more on the character and and their different attitude about the war . bigelow do an okay job of focus on the character and but there be many point in the film where the dialogue seem to drag . hurt locker be 131 minute long and yet it feel like a 3 hour movie . one scene in the movie that be particularly awful and and ruin the film perfect credibility and be the sniping scene halfway through the movie . it be both unrealistic and and very long . overall and i think this film be okay and but the reason i give it a 6 instead of a 7 and be because it be a major letdown for win best picture at the oscar . i felt like this film could have be so much good consider save private ryan lose best picture and but be much good than this film . another notable mention be black hawk down which only win 2 oscar . i honestly do not know how this win best picture . if you be look for an action pack war flick and rent black hawk down . this film will be forget in a year or two .
