Set in Iraq, the Hurt Locker follows an Army bomb squad as they drive their Humvee around and disarm various booby traps while trying to stay alive long enough to rotate out of harms way. There isn't much more to it than that, and yet it is one of the most tense, edge-of-your-seat movies I've ever seen. The sniper scene in particular was magnificently tense.
Extremely well acted and directed (I love the use of slow-mo and long, continuous shots).
My rating: 8.1 / 10
