The Hurt Locker (R)
An intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. When new Sergeant James takes over the bomb disposal team amidst the violent conflict in Iraq, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge, by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. 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. This film will have you on the edge of your seat from explosive beginning to explosive end.
