Directed by: Kathryn Bigelow Actors: Jeremy Renner, Guy ("Memento") Pearce, David Morse, Ralph Fiennes, Evangeline ("Lost") Lilly, etc.
Based on a true story. Portrayal of the U.S. army's bomb squad in Iraq, constantly under danger from Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), which it their job to defuse; from insurgents bullets, and sometimes with their own recklessness. After a fellow bomb squad member loses his life to an IED, his replacement, SGT. Wm. James (Jeremy Renner) is either very brave or extremely reckless. he seems to have a death-wish, but he thrives in his specialty in the Iraqi desert. Unfortunately, the chances he takes put the other soldiers in his unit at risk. In fact, a lower ranked soldier is even seeing a military psychologist over his fear of possibly dying in the war. Very tense, the movie allows the audience to feel how the soldiers feel who must defuse explosives on a daily basis; putting themselves at risk to save the lives of Americans and Iraqis alike. The movie depicts the 38 days before their tour of duty is over.
