Despite some disagreements with how some of the characters are developed, I have carbombs full of praise for this movie. Some of the scenes in The Hurt Locker make Platoon look like an episode of M*A*S*H. I love the documentary-style shooting, the grainy stock, the easy performances. . . and the most nerve-wracking slow-as-shit sniper exchange scene I’ve ever seen.
I liked this movie a lot when I first saw it, but days later I think I love it.
