Hurt Locker
(2009)
Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Guy Pearce,Jeremy Renner
Hurt Locker was a very interesting look into the daily lives of a unit on leave in the middle east. I was intrigued to find out that a woman had directed this war-focused film. Kathryn Bigelow had also directed K-19 Widowmaker. Jerry Renner plays the daring and reckless Sgt. William James, a man who has no fear of death. He dismantles bombs for the United States Army. Hurt Locker does not have a very concise plot, but i think it serves a purpose to create an experience for the viewer which allows them to see into the monotony of combat. Hurt Locker's premise is that war is a drug, this movie seeks to prove just that. The endless cycle of fighting, pointless and unpointless death, and adreneline charged players continue full circle, charging head on into another rotation by the end of the film.
