The Hurt Locker is overwhelmingly tense, overflowing with crackling verisimilitude, a credit to Oscar-nominated Kathryn Bigelow’s skilful direction.

 

Bigelow demonstrates a gift for stylized suspense and "heightened emotional states" as this tale of a three-man U.S. Army bomb squad (Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty) unfolds in the terrifying streets of Baghdad.

 

The film is structured around the 38 days the three men in the EOD squad (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) have left in their rotation in Iraq. They all want to avoid the hurt locker, the place where bad things happen.

Though Sgt. Sanborn (Mackie) and Spec Eldridge (Geraghty) have been in the Army and in Iraq for some time, they've never met anyone like their new leader, Staff Sgt. William James (Renner).
