- Heroes of the Invasion. When the President of the United States sent troops to invade Iraq over fears the country’s strongman, Saddam Hussein, possessed weapons of mass destruction, Americans were split over the decision to go to war.
- Superb acting. Before they became huge stars as part of the Marvel Universe starring in the Captain America and Avengers franchise, Jeremy Renner and Anthony Mackie were up-and-coming unknown actors when they starred in this film.
- Kathryn Bigelow. Bigelow has been proving for years that women filmmakers can direct great action films; she has been directing some of the best action films released over the last 30 years, and “The Hurt Locker” is, without question, her best film to date.
- Filmed on Super 16mm. Filmed on the smaller format of Super 16mm, the film has a grainy real-life visual style in its depiction of war. Most films are shot on the bigger 35mm format or on digital capture.

Evocative and unsettling, The Hurt Locker remains an outstanding and cautionary war drama. Full Review | Jun 14, 2023
Jun 26, 2009 · Kathryn Bigelow's film, The Hurt Locker, is a bit of a controversial best picture winner, but overall, I feel it's a great film. It's expertly directed, well written, and contains artistry in all of the smaller details.
Combining intellectual and philosophical ambition with gut-wrenching, visceral action, The Hurt Locker is unquestionably one of the best films of 2009. It's also a great movie, period, full of excitement, action, graveyard comedy, and brilliant filmmaking technique.
