War is a drug. Nobody knows that better than Sergeant James, head of an elite squad of soldiers tasked with disarming bombs in the heat of combat. To do this nerve shredding job, you have to thrive in a zone where the margin of error is zero and somehow survive with your body and soul intact. Powerfully realistic, action-packed, unrelenting and intense, "The Hurt Locker" has been hailed by critics as "an adrenaline-soaked tour de force" (A.O. Scott, The New York Times) and "one of the great war movies." (Richard Corliss, Time).
