Chess with death in 'The Hurt Locker'

Chess with death in 'The Hurt Locker'

It's a different kind of war movie, for a change are defusing bombs. I liked the sense of movie making and brilliant camera work. It has some real punching lines to remember. You got to watch this movie for very tense moments of bomb defusing, if not for good story or plot.

When it won so many Oscar awards, people wondered is it that good to qualify for an Oscar? Whatever the debate, it's got some real tense and edgy bomb explosion scenes.

All sums upto this dialogue which appears at the end of the movie. An innocent man is tied-up with powerful time bomb. Our hero, a bomb defusing expert try to help but has got only few seconds to unlock time bomb vested with so many locks . He is able to unlock one but not others. Hero runs for life uttering these words :

I can't. There's too many locks. There's too many, I can't do it,
I can't get it off. I'm sorry, Okay!
You understand? I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. You hear me? I'm sorry...

That's the damn painful scene. It's also the reality of war torn lands of terrorism; locked up and entangled with foolish ideologies. They are burning their own future, eradicating their own kids life. West might unlock easy knots in the short run, but not in the long. Their help is undermined with land mines !
