Not since THE GODFATHER has an American film had such universal critical acclaim.
A visceral, gripping and totally absorbing film that follows one man’s life on the front line of bomb disposal, THE HURT LOCKER is tipped to take out multiple Academy Award nominations next February.
Director Kathryn Bigalow puts you right in the adrenaline rush zone alongside the remarkable Jeremy Renner playing the man who can’t seem to get enough.

“The Hurt Locker” is a great film. A film that actually messed with my levels of calm. Just a little too long. 4 out of 5 from me.
Amazing film. I really felt like i was there in Iraq and it was incredible to get a view of what these bomb detonaters have to go through.
What an intense film!
Leaves you thinking about it long after the closing credits.
Whilst we honour the bravery of the soldiers .. for their’s is the ultimate sacrifice. I can’t help think about the futility of war.
Parents lose their children, their loved ones… and for what?
A sad reminder of mankind’s self destructive nature.
