Date: 2009-02-16 09:07:58 User: marviher The Hurt Locker follows three soldiers -- bomb tech James (Jeremy Renner) and his subordinates Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Eldrige (Brian Geraghty) into the jaws of death; it's all last names in The Hurt Locker, as seen on patches and heard in urgent radio dispatches. Early on, Bigleow establishes that people will be killed in this film -- with a bravura sequence that depicts a bomb's detonation on the macro and micro level, billowing bursts of smoke and pressure and flame intercut with gravel and dust leaping choreographed in lockstep by the pressure wave, as if God had slammed his fist on reality hard to make a point -- and while Renner, Mackie and Geraghty are fine actors, they're also unknown enough to subconsciously let us know that they aren't safe from what may happen. Recreating Iraq in Jordan, the production team creates the chaos of the streets -- strewn with trash and bodies and burnt-out cars, and we understand that anything -- or anyone - could be concealing a bomb. Production designer Karl Juliusson (Breaking the Waves) and his team make us feel the city; editors Bob Murawaski and Chris Innis, as well as sound designer Paul N. J. Ottosson and a great effects team, make us feel every explosion with the sick, slick power of a sucker-punch to the gut.   You have to register to leave a comment...   Back to the Stalag 17 movie download page
