Powerful in both sound and visuals, this suspenseful story of a crack trio of bomb-disposal experts on the hostile streets of Baghdad will get your adrenaline pumping and leave you breathless.

3 Reasons To buy this film

"An intense, action-driven war pic, a muscular, efficient standout that simultaneously conveys the feeling of combat from within as well as what it looks like on the ground." - Entertainment Weekly
"A small classic of tension, bravery, and fear, which will be studied twenty years from now when people want to understand something of what happened to American soldiers in Iraq. If there are moviegoers who are exhausted by the current fashion for relentless fantasy violence, this is the convincingly blunt and forceful movie for them." - The New Yorker
"A full-throttle body shock of a movie. It gets inside you like a virus, puts your nerves in a blender, and twists your guts into a Gordian knot." - Village Voice

Review

It's remarkable that although we are six years into the U.S.-led military campaign in Iraq, there has been no definitive Iraq war movie released until now. Helmed by visionary director Kathryn Bigelow and based on journalist Mark Boal's real experiences following bomb disposal experts in Iraq, The Hurt Locker will blow you away. Bomb disposal is a high-stakes, palm-sweating, beat-the-clock exercise in problem solving. Swaggering new sergeant James (Jeremy Renner) has a record of 900 defused devices and counting. Following an incident, he joins a highly trained bomb disposal unit where he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Eldridge (Brian Geraghty), by behaving as if he's indifferent to death. Psychopathic or heroic, James' risk-taking creates discord. With less than 40 days left in their rotation before a break from service, Bravo Company will have to learn to trust each other and bond together in order to survive work that has zero margin for error.
