The Hurt Locker(2009)- User Reviews

I just want to say the visuals in this movie are amazing. Many critics said this was "the most realistic movie about Iraq". Well they were right about looks. It looks just like Iraq. The rest of the movie loses it from there. The problem most Veterans have with this movie is critics and ads said it was the most relistic movie about Iraq. As an action movie this was enjoyable, it had tense moments and large amounts of action. As a look into the lives of soldiers in Iraq it was complete garbage. They took EOD soldiers and made them into an elite force that can do everything. I was pretty angry when they showed a group of Infantry soldiers cowering behind a wall at suspected IED...This is not what happens.
