Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertA great film, an intelligent film, a film shot clearly so that we know exactly who everybody is and where they are and what they’re doing and why.
Hindustan Times - 10/10 by Rashid IraniSatisfying from the first frame to the last, The Hurt Locker ranks among the most accomplished contemporary war films.
Cinemanía (Spain) - 10/10 by Manuel PiñónBased on the experiences of the journalist Mark Boal, who lived with a patrol similar to the one that's featured in The Hurt Locker, the film finds a perfect channel in its episodic structure... [Full review in Spanish]
At the Movies (Australia) - 10/10 by David StrattonAn important, intense, nail-biting experience -- really quite unforgettable.
Tulsa World - 10/10 by Michael SmithIt is neither an anti-war film nor a pro-war film. It is, simply, a great war film about courageous men working in chaotic situations, and the collateral damage that comes with the job.
TV Guide - 10/10 by Jeremy WheelerWhen the picture isn't ramping up your heart rate, it switches gears and becomes an intimate character study in what war does to humankind.
The Film Yap - 10/10 by Nick RogersThe decade's best fictional film about its real war, it's a unique perspective on the workplace high of delivering containment from chaos. Some people kick PowerPoint's ass. Sgt. 1st Class William James saves his by defusing bombs.
DCist - 10/10 by Ian BuckwalterEqual parts bravado-fueled action and pointed political statement. The best film yet made about the Iraq War, and the best American film about war since Platoon.
Fan The Fire - 10/10 by Sam BatheOne of the few must watches of the year so far, and certainly one of the most intelligent offerings, The Hurt Locker would likely already be boasting a masterpiece label had it been from a high profile director or studio.
Urban Cinefile - 10/10 by Louise KellerThe film hurts like hell as we sit on the edge of our seats enveloped in tension
