Rated The Hurt Locker 6/10

Is there a specific name for the kind of war film that just vaguely follows people around without much of a plot otherwise? This is a reasonable enough entry into that genre, whatever it's called.

I really like the depth of the main characters, especially Jeremy Renner's Sgt James, but it does put how flat and disposable everyone else is into sharp relief.

Similarly there's a lot of detail in the visuals and audio, but almost none in the logistics/operations. They just kind of bumble around with main character energy and do their own thing, and no-one seems to care.
