The Hurt Locker 9pm beIN Movies Action 2
THIS brilliant war movie won six Oscars in 2009.
The nerve-shredding story of an American bomb disposal squad working in Iraq under enemy fire in 2004.
Not to be missed. Staff Sergeant William James, convincingly played by Jeremy Renner, is the bomb disposal whizz whose risk-taking scares the hell out of his team, including two riflemen who keep snipers and insurgents at bay.
James is an unconventional hero, who got the job when his predecessor was blown up.
It’s a psychological melodrama and James is addicted to the adrenaline fix when he puts his life on the line.
His existence seems to have extra meaning when he pits his skill and intuition against a bomb and the man who made it.
This edge-of-seat movie won the Oscar for Best Picture. Director Kathryn Bigelow keeps the tension close to screaming pitch and won an Oscar.
The script by war correspondent Mark Boal won another award. Other Oscars were for Sound and Editing.
Empire movie magazine gave it their maximum five stars: “The most literally exciting film you will see this year. A spare, unyielding masterclass in the racking-up of tension.”
