The Hurt Locker

An unbearably intense, white knuckle ride of a film. Action thriller places the audience on the front lines of the Iraq war as we follow follow three members of an elite Army bomb disposal team. Stunningly acted, this film gives an honest, straightforward portrayal of us what it’s like for these soldiers to deal with death every day, from bombs to snipers. The incisive, penetrating script was written by journalist Mark Boal, who adapted his own wartime experiences with a bomb squad. Film packs an emotional wallop you will not soon forget. Without question, the most important film dealing with the Iraq War thus far, and one of the most important films about war EVER.
