And, yes, Hurt Locker contains very little thematic offerings. Sure, it's a pseudo-tribute to soldiers. The most you could really take away from it is that some people are addicted to a calling. In this case, bomb dismantling. Adrenaline junkies is what the film says.

The film was tense. The film was well made. The script wins for it's non-traditional nature. But ultimately it's pretty forgettable because it offers little lasting effect. Once the tension of the film is gone, everything is gone.
