The Army goes to Iraq and attempts to make it a safer place for Iraqis and Americans.

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2011)

The Army get a first class Sgt. William James who came in by storm. James is a dangerous man who is not afraid to take risk. With this high intensifying film it will keep you on the edge of your seats, Sgt. JT Sanborn with the whole Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit.
Hurt Locker is a very suspenseful film about how the military holds so many hero's that were not notice by their courageous efforts. The technicians of the bomb squad volunteers to save lives by doing the most dangerous job in the world. The EOD searches for roadside bombs on the streets to disarm them. They have a mission to protect and save, but it;s not easy. Having Sgt. James on the unit makes you not wanting to leave the screen. He was a good actor in this movie; if it wasn't for him playing that role the movie may not have been as good. Like when he went to the parked car that had a bomb in it and every body was saying wait until the bomb squad come not only did he obey them he took off some of his protective gear; he said, "he wanted to be comfortable." I thought that was awesome, well produced film.
When James came with them they only had a month or so left in Iraq, although James was replacing Sgt. Matt Thompson, who was recently killed from disposing of am improvised explosive device. James acted as if death doesn't apply to him, Sanborn and Eldridge tries to control their wild new leader, the fellow squad members, including Sgt. JT Sanborn and SPC Owen Eldridge just want to survive the few days of duty they have left in Iraq.
The way the lighting and angles were constantly changing with the every scene made the movie interesting. The sounds of the explosions were so intense; it was like I was right there. When Sanborn and James witness a man with a cell phone they was yelling at him to drop the phone it was bright outside, when the bomb went off it got dark like a grayish black color and noise was loud.
Hurt Locker was one of the best war movies I have seen in a long time, probably the best ever, if you have not seen it; it;s a must see film.
