The Hurt Locker

This is another one that I saw on DVD.  James had been wanting to see this one for awhile, but we missed it in the theatre. 

Here's the recap:
The story takes place in Iraq.  We are following a team that disarms undetonated bombs.  One of the main team members has been replaced, with a tension that really likes to live on the edge.

This movie is intense.  You never relax, but I think that is proof that the film maker knew what she was doing.  We are constantly reminded that they are out to kill us--well at least on the "battlefield".  The team dos survive the part of the story that we are privy to. 

I did like this movie, and recommend it.  Just be ready to be sitting forward for about 90 minutes.

Jeremy Renner who plays the main character is nominated for Best Actor.  Kathryn Bigleow is nominated for Best Director.
