[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] I felt they took the wartime "sullen apathy" too far in Hurt Locker, like they shot each scene letter-by-letter from Boal's journalist notepad/diary. They went out of their way to depart from a three-act routine, I appreciate the attempt to emulate Werner Herzog but the content wasn't artsy enough to validate the departure, just anticlimactic, and the minimal thriller-parts didn't compensate since I half-wanted the main punk to get his comeuppance for 75% of the movie. Not in a Björk-Dancer-in-the-dark-"Well that shut HER up"-kind of way, just that the mainguy's Top Gun "Maverick" schtick took up a lot of space. Also, worst misuse of Ralph Fiennes ever, it's like they were so scared he would steal the new kid's thunder they threw him into a scene and pulled him away again like a theater prop, to illustrate the randomness of war. Same with Guy Pearce. I'm sure the veterans and servicemen will like it, the only way it could've been more on the ground and in your face was if they'd gone Cloverfield and shot it all by camcorder POV. [/QB][/QUOTE]
