The Hurt Locker Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
I probably should have seen this movie when I had the chance in theaters, but as a DVD it didn't live up to the hype, though it was well done.
The Atlantic
Ed Koch
The Hurt Locker is without a doubt one of the best war pictures I have ever seen, and I have seen most of them.
Reverse Shot
Jeannette Catsoulis
More than anything, The Hurt Locker is a high-wire study of men at work, its lack of overt politics replaced by a revelatory central performance.
Film Comment Magazine
Amy Taubin
Her new film, The Hurt Locker, is both a structuralist war movie-it could be titled 'Seven Instances of Dismantling an Improvised Explosive Device'-and a totally immersive, off-the-charts high-anxiety experience from beginning to end.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
The Hurt Locker is about Iraq in the same way that Paths of Glory was about World War I or Full Metal Jacket was about Vietnam -- which is to say, utterly and not at all. The Hurt Locker is a great movie, period.
The New Republic
Christopher Orr
Like her protagonist, Bigelow is both a meticulous technician and a ballsy showoff. And, like him, she has ice water in her veins.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
As unpredictable and tragic as it is genuinely riveting.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
We've had good and very good Iraq movies for several years now, but The Hurt Locker has a fullness of understanding that sets it apart.
UGO
Jordan Hoffman
The Hurt Locker retains indie drama cred, provides audience thrills and stays respectful to the fact your neighbor's kid may very well be in the Middle East right now.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
The hybridization of arthouse and action doesn't happen all that often, but it should, if mashing the two genres makes for film as riveting and rattling as The Hurt Locker.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
The Hurt Locker leaves an impression. It practically leaves a bruise.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Bigelow's direction is confident -- the action sequences are tense and suspenseful, so much so that The Hurt Locker also works as a straight-up war film.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Like all the best war movies -- no matter what war, what era -- The Hurt Locker goes to the core of human nature.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
The Hurt Locker is at once an unforgettable war film and a brilliant character study.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
It's the best war movie since Full Metal Jacket.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
The miserably visceral exists here not as exploitation but out of the demands of authenticity.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The question isn't how do you live with the buzz of looming death; it's how do you live without it? No answers are offered, or even suggested.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Screenwriter Mark Boal and director Kathryn Bigelow have made a unique film about war.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
[Kathryn] Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal...have made the first fictional feature about American soldiers in Iraq that doesn't fall apart, or preach to a choir, or turn into a position paper.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Hurt Locker is a spellbinding war film by Kathryn Bigelow, a master of stories about men and women who choose to be in physical danger.
