Trivialidades:

Actor Jeremy Renner tripped and fell down some stairs while carrying an Iraqi boy on the film's set. Shooting was stopped for several days while Renner's ankle healed.

Errores:

Personal o Equipo Visible: When Sergeant William James enters the "room" where the dead Iraqi boy lies. He walks through the plastic flaps. Using his right hand and then his left hand which holds the gun, to move the flaps. Yet a 3rd hand is seen moving flaps aside in the left bottom corner. But in the next shot it's only Staff Sergeant William James who is in the room. As he yells to his team mates that he has found something. Only then Sergeant JT Sanborn is seen moving the flaps and entering the room after that. Sergeant JT Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge are both wearing gloves. The hand that helped Sergeant William James, doesn't wear any, but does wear a golden bracelet.

The Brilliant Explosion Of Kathryn Bigelow

I spent the entire film grabbing the arms of my seat. I was there in Irak, steps away from my death and the death of those around me. The tension, the suspense is at times breathtaking, literally. "The Hurt Locker" is a miracle and the definitive consecration of a great filmmaker, Kathryn Bigelow. This is also a rare occasion in which I went to see the film without having read a single review or knowing anything about it. One should try to do that more often because the impact of the surprise translates into pure pleasure and in this case, sometimes, you have to look away from the unmitigated horror. Jeremy Renner is a real find. He is superb. A kind soul, wild man with enough arrogance to make him appear reckless and yet his humanity precedes him. People may commit the mistake of avoiding this gem thinking that it's just a war film. Don't. It isn't. It's a great, engrossing film about human emotions, not to be missed.
