In the Hurt Locker Meaning?

Hurt locker is a slang term for a place of deep pain and discomfort. To be put in the hurt locker signifies that something profoundly troubling or painful has happened to you.

What is the message in The Hurt Locker?

Keanu Reeves, playing the troubled cop hero, speaks the film's last memorable line: “He's not coming back.” That's what happens when you embrace dark and wild forces beyond control. The Hurt Locker, on the other hand, doesn't take war addiction to its logical, unambiguous, conclusion. That is, death.

What is the moral of The Hurt Locker?

The Hurt Locker, unlike every other War on Terror film I've seen, exists in a moral universe that a sane man might recognize as our own. Insurgents murder without restraint, even enticing children into the blast area to kill as many as possible.
