THe Hurt Locker: best film oft he year if the only other film you've seen was Sherlock Holmes...(spoilers)

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

.. and even then it's a close thing.
This cardboard cutout of a film could have easily been a Rambo movie for all the macho swagger of one American making a difference by not going by the book and running straight at trouble.
Hmmm.
Eventually he gets one of his team shot and suffers at least 10 seconds remorse.
These are men whose idea of recreation is drinking a bottle of bourbon and hitting each other in the stomach. They're MEN!!!
It's pathetic posturing.
Iraqis die and at one point he imagines a kid he knew was dead... or is it just that they all look alike?
The lack of success the men have had with women is not surprising.
Only one scene halfway cuts it and that is when a man has had a bomb strapped to him and after telling him it would be easier to shoot him, he blows up.
It's trash.
The idea f the Berserker, the guy who doesn't play by the rules, in this case a disposal guy who just walks up to bombs and pulls them around while the others all cower ruins this film.
It looks like the film is sped up when he has his suit on making him look a little like a military tele-tubby.
