THE HURT LOCKER Movie Review

When I saw The Hurt Locker, all I knew about it was what I had seen in the trailer, but not much else. I have a habit of not reading too much about a movie before seeing it, so that it retains some type of surprise element. But what I did see in the trailer intrigued me enough that I wanted to see the movie.
The Hurt Locker, directed by Kathryn Bigelow (Point Break, K-19) takes place during the summer of 2004 and follows the story of three members of a counterforce that specializes in disarming homemade bombs, or Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in Iraq.
The movie opens with Sergeant J.T. Sanborn (Anthony Mackie), Specialist Owen Eldridge (Brian Geraghty) and their team leader trying to disarm a bomb. Through some complications Sanborn and Eldridge end up losing their team leader. The army assigns Staff Sergeant William James (Jeremy Renner) to take over the team. And while James might be good at his job, his reckless behavior and his lack of concern for following military protocol create tension with his team. With only 38 days left in their tour of Iraq, the men will have to learn to work and trust with each other if they're going to survive.

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.
