Undeniably one of the most memorable. I mean that line he says about loving so few things is just phenomenal. Renner did an excellent job in that film. The approach to criticizing the war, the subtlety of the film I think is what really distinguishes it. I think it's one of the more affecting films made about the war so far.

The approach to criticizing the war, the subtlety of the film I think is what really distinguishes it. I think it’s one of the more affecting films made about the war so far.

I still think The Hurt Locker is one of the best movies of the Summer. That ending scene... [SPOILERS] ...when he was talking to his child was absolutely heartbreaking.[SPOILERS] I started getting goosebumps during that scene. It was so affecting and addressed the effect of war in, what I felt was, a very different angle. I also liked how they didn't really get into any kind of discussion on the ethical reasons for or any kind of criticism of the war. Their position was treated just as a job, and it made me able to relate to the characters much more than if they were the typical Hollywood soldier.
