Synopsis

THE HURT LOCKER is an intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. When a new sergeant, James (Jeremy Renner), takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge (Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty), by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. James behaves as if he’s indifferent to death. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James’ true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever.

    Another great film about the realities of day-to-day life working on the ground in Iraq. Convincing characters play out the tough role of American troops responsible for the disposal of insurgent bombs. The direction is excellent, allowing you to feel the suspense and the heat that these guys have to work in. Well worth a watch!
