Another Oscar-bait film, inspired by true events and recently declassified information, The Hurt Locker follows an elite Army Explosive Ordinance Disposal team in present-day Baghdad that fights an onslaught of bombs and snipers. It stars Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Guy Pearce, Ralph Fiennes and David Morse.
Bombs? Snipers? Onslaught? Guy Pearce?? Ralph Fiennes!? Shiiiiit, I'm already in the theater. I already bet my left nut with Frost/Nixon so I now bet my dog with this film. I'm seeing Best Director, Best and/or Supporting Actor for Guy and Ralph and...
Best Poster. Seriously, who has the time to pose for the camera and smoke a goddamn cigarette while being barraged by fucking bullets and missiles?! That's so badass. Can't wait.
