Bought The Hurt Locker on Blu-Ray yesterday, so we watched it last night.
It was quite a good film, but to be honest, I can't believe it won the Oscar for best picture or director.
It was quite slow in parts. The acting was ok, but they could have done better. Didn't quite live up to all the hype, but still was an ok film.
The best parts, obviously, when disabling bombs.
I would give it, 6.5 out of 10.
One thing though - has given me a new respect for these crazy guys in the bomb disposal units. Australia lost guys and a their dog from a bomb disposal unit in Afghanistan the other week. Very sad.
