Good and intense but not perfect

saw the hurt locker and liked it but not to an extreme amount. The flaws I saw in it were few but there. One being the main hero did standard action movie cliche of not using the safe method instead using the "cool" method (not using the robot. Also the film had the cameos from known actors which I thought were distracting because they showed up just to be killed, which was almost like the stars aren't safe therefore the main characters are not. Finally there were too many middle eastern characters who acted like psychopaths for no reason namely that taxi driver. Overall though the film was properly intense and well done in that way but in the end it could have used less cliches.
