The Hurt Locker

About this movie

War is a drug. Nobody knows that better than Staff Sergeant James, head of elite squad of soldiers tasked with disarming bombs in the heat of combat. To do this nerve-shredding job, it's not enough to be the best: you have to thrive in a zone where the margin of error is zero, think as diabolically as a bomb-maker, 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" (A.O. Scott, The New York Times) and "one of the great war movies." (Richard Corliss, Time)

Ratings and reviews

One of the most irresponsible military movies of all time! Very little of this movie resembled reality. Created an image of soldiers and the war that were beyond misleading.

I wouldnt recommend. ALL Thumbs DOWN!

It's a tough watch. And it's supposed to be.
