The Hurt Locker

Simultaneously brooding and breath-taking, recreates the harshness and excitement of war without accidentally killing the audience. Made more incredible by Renner’s phenomenally nuanced performance. Employs Reitman’s frequent celeb cameos technique to great effect. Somewhat forced scene at end kept in despite change from equally ambiguous original title, ‘The Cereal Aisle.’
