The Hurt Locker
You'll know when you're in it.
This highly-rated war drama takes a look at a bomb disposal squad operating in Iraq. We focus on three men, in particular the new squad leader, and two of his underlings, who have only a few weeks left before returning Stateside. The new leader has a reckless streak and pushes his men into dangerous situations, which is of course at odds with his men's desire to go home alive ...
