The Hurt Locker

Plot:

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, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge, 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

Review:

A must see movie this year. Very intense flick about the lives of bomb disarmers during wartime. Jeremy Renner is bad ass as the bomb squad leader -- breakout role for him. Probably one of the most legit movies on the Iraq war right now and the hardships of the soldiers in the conflict. Keep an eye out for a nice little cameo at the start from Guy Pearce.

Genre: Action, Drama

Rating: Great - Oscar worthy?
