Lebanon (2009)
7/10
Hurt Locker in a Tank....but then again not really
15 September 2010
My Movie MOT from: http://moviemot.wordpress.com/ PLOT - Lebanon is about a lone tank platoon in the 1980′s first Lebanon war.

REVIEW – The film has bags of tension, lots of shouting and combat scenes (usually hostage) and follows a team in a tank. There are lots of shots through the tank's gun target and the film is impressively unique, creepy and somewhat dark.

This is Hurt Locker in a tank, but not. It is more low budget, real, bloody and low-key when in comparison. But, this is what has won it critical acclaim and for it's uniqueness I would tend to agree.

There is a nice use of colors, close-ups and realism (focusing on surroundings) and the ample tension helps builds up suspense and puts you into the gunman's position.

MOT - I have never had to MOT a Tank before! A unique and weird vehicle that passes its own MOT. Like a tank it is slow and can feel sluggish but what it represents and the weapons it does have are pleasingly unique and acceptable.
