About this movie

Find a bomb, defuse it. The job is simple enough, but the room for error is zero. Fail to defuse it, and die. In THE HURT LOCKER war is a drug. Nobody knows that better than Sergeant James (Jeremy Renner), head of an elite squad of soldiers tasked with disarming bombs in the heat of combat. To do this nerve-shredding job, you have to thrive in a zone where the margin of error is zero and somehow survive with your body and soul intact. Powerfully realistic, action-packed, unrelenting and intense, THE HURT LOCKER has been hailed by critics as an adrenaline soaked tour-de-force.

Ratings and reviews

So much of this film was lifted from The Deer Hunter, which was a truly Oscar worthy film. This film is just typical Hollywood cliche action/drama trash. It's sad to see what wins Oscars these days.

You don't like this movie than your better off to rent some super hero movie.... The movie is well told each day crazier than the last... Crazy that this is going on in the world on a daily basis... Very moving.. Unforgettable..... Oscars got it right..

This us the only movie that beats avatar with 6 oscars. It's really the best war movie.
