The Hurt Locker was an idiots film... lacking plot, lacking character development, lacking direction and suspense... it's predictability appalled me in every sense of the word. I wouldn't recommend even watching this film on its DVD release. This years Oscars for Best Picture and Director were preposterous and I was extremely let down. Where are the memorable scenes that envelop the audience, the unique situations that make it hard not to re-watch again and again, the characters that thrive in the memory long after the film is thrown back onto the shelf. I'm sorry James Cameron, quality is no longer the basis of winning, it was a secondary factor this year.
