I thought it was, pretty good. Lots of explosions and people blowing up. You would see a solider just walking and waving to some civilians then he's gone (a bomb blows him up). The only real gory/bloody scene I've seen is when they see this kid ripped open and there's lots of blood and visions of his guts. A really long sniping scene with mild blood. Civilians watching the soldiers defuse a bomb and there was kinda creepy music that made the scene freaky.

This movie is a pretty good and realistic view of the Iraq war, not World War 2, as most of this genre is based on. Violence, but not always, is present throughout the movie, and sexual jokes are made. In one scene, a bomb specialist has to disarm a bomb in a dead boy's body, which this guy knows pretty personally, and can frighten some viewers. When shots are fired at insurgents, sprays of blood can be seen, but will disappear in a few frames. But, sometimes situations in this movie can be solved peacefully, and when violence is present, the soldiers normally shoot the baddies. As in most war movies, vulgar language can be heard, such as f---, a--, b----, and two D words (you probably know those). In somewhere in the end, the message is expressed as "war is a drug, and you can't get away from the addiction" when the main character tells his baby son that everything that mattered to him then would not matter in the future, leaving only one thing that mattered, so this movie's message is both good and bad. What I don't like about this movie is that plot isn't that great and you can ask questions in the end. Other than that, great movie.

I'm not here to give a review because if it shows up on my page its a 5 star movie and so therefore you know what i think about it.

While it's not on par with Saving Private Ryan, this is up there on the war-time thriller movies. A documentary LIKE movie about the war in Iraq, leaves you sad, angry, and tense throughout and after the movie is over...

In many ways, this is a marvelous movie. The acting is incredible, the visual effects are entrancing, and the whole theme of it is grisly, yet fantastic. Basically, the whole movie is based on a team of soldies sent to difuse bombs during a rotation in the Iraqi War. This film contains and excellently selected cast, an exhilarating feel, a crisp, crystal clear sound, and a just an overall incredible movie. This is a milder war movie, as the violence isn't as strong as you'd think. What really gave this movie the "R" rating is the strong language. However, there are some bloody/disturbing scenes you (or your children) should be aware of. -An intense, but rather mild sniper showdown involving a few people, resulting in a few minor wounds and deaths. -A man dies in an explosion, and a decent amount of blood splatters inside his helmet. -A catastrohpic explosion sets off in a small Iraqi town, resulting in a few corpses on fire and some mourning. (more intense than violent) -An innocent man is shot multiple times in the chest with bloody results. -It is implied that a soldier was tortured, as his leg femur (or shin, can't remember) was shattered into nine pieces. -A bomb was planted inside a twelve year old boy's stomach. His bloody, decaying carcuss is a revolting sight, and might upset viewers of all ages. In an extremely gruesome, bloody scene, James makes an inscission inside the child's stomach, and reaches his (gloved) hands inside and digs around for the bomb. When he begins to retrieve it, you can briefly see some fatty tissue, followed by rapid blood loss. -Many other shooting scenes, generally mild, a few deaths with rather bloody results. (However, most deaths are seen from a distance, so it's a bit faint) There is a seen with a tad of cleavage exposed by a woman, but it's extremely mild; I am not inclined to believe that the film-makers were attempting to be perverted in any aspect. Very strong, some-what pervasive language throughout the movie, mostly with the F-word. (E.G: Sheesh mother f*cker, I was just sh*ttin' with you) Overall, this is an incredible, realistic movie about the Iraqi War. While there is some strong language, a bit of mild cleavage, and some violence, this is an all-out incredible film.

this was by far the wordt movie i have ever watched..if ur a teenager take this from a teenager himself..its not what u would expect from a war movie...if u are looking for an amazing war movie..check out black halk down...best movie iv ever seen

If your child is mature enough to handle violence, and is not one of those super hyper immature kids, than this movie is just fine for adolescents.

The Hurt Locker is intense from the minute it starts to... about 10 minutes later. For me, this isn't as intense as people say, but I think it has a great edge-of-your-seat opening. This movie is such an interesting one to watch. When it's over, you aren't sure what to think...
