The Hurt Locker (2009) - 4 stars

One Sentence Plot Summary: The life of an army bomb squad in 2004 Iraq.

Starring: Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty, Ralph Fiennes, Christian Camargo, David Morse, Guy Pearce, Evangeline Lilly

Best of: Maybe the most intense movie ever to win the Oscar.

Worst of: It sometimes sways from serious drama into just an action movie. The action-hero heavy metal ending dumbs down the whole movie for me.

Notable: Adjusted for inflation, it is the lowest grossing Oscar winner ever.

Also Nominated: Avatar.
