During the early months of the [[Post-invasion Iraq, 2003–present|post-invasion period in Iraq]], Sergeant First Class William James becomes the new team leader of an [[Bomb disposal|Explosive Ordnance Disposal]] (EOD) unit with the [[U.S. Army]]'s Bravo Company, replacing Staff Sergeant Thompson, who was killed by a remote-detonated [[improvised explosive device]] (IED) in [[Baghdad]]. He joins Sergeant J.T. Sanborn and Specialist Owen Eldridge, whose jobs are to communicate with their team leader via radio inside his [[bombsuit]], and provide him with rifle cover while he examines an IED. James's insistence on approaching a suspected IED without first sending in a bomb disposal robot during their first mission together lead Sanborn and Eldridge to consider him "reckless". Back at [[Camp Victory]], James befriends Beckham, a young Iraqi boy who works for a local merchant operating at the base. The team is next called out to the [[United Nations]] building in Baghdad, where a parked car has a large bomb in the trunk. While James intensively studies the intricate bomb, Sanborn and Eldridge provide him with cover. Sanborn becomes increasingly paranoid of three men watching them from a [[minaret]] and another filming them from a nearby rooftop. With the building evacuated, he suggests to James that the they pull out and let a team of engineers come disarm the bomb. James ignores and angers Sanborn by removing his radio headset, and remains with the car until he disarms the device.

While returning from detonating bombs in the desert, the EOD team encounter a British [[private military company]]. They soon come under enemy attack, and three of the British mercenaries are killed in the ensuing firefight, which ends after Sanborn and Eldridge shoot the last of the insurgent snipers. For their next mission, the team heads to a warehouse to retrieve unexploded ordnance. While securing the warehouse, James discovers the dead body of a young boy who has been surgically implanted with an unexploded bomb. James is sure that it is Beckham, while Sanborn and Eldridge are not entirely certain. That night, James forces the merchant for whom Beckham worked to drive him to Beckham's house. Upon entering the house to which he is brought, James encounters an Iraqi professor and demands to know who was responsible for turning Beckham into a "body bomb". The professor thinks James is a [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] agent and calmly invites him to sit down as a guest of his household. A confused James is then forced out of the house by the man's wife, and sneaks back into Camp Victory with the help of a sympathetic guard. That same night, Eldridge is accidentally shot in the leg during a mission in which the EOD team successfully tracks down and kills two bomb makers. The next morning, James is approached by Beckham, who is alive and well. Much to Beckham's confusion, he is completely ignored by James. Eldridge blames James for his injury, claiming James unnecessarily put his life at risk just so that he could have an "adrenaline fix", referring to Sanborn's suggestion that the mission, which James had ordered, would be better suited for an infantry platoon.

With only two days left on their current tour, James and Sanborn are called in to assist in a situation where a man was forced to wander into a military checkpoint with a timed bomb strapped to his chest. James cannot remove the bomb nor disarm it in time, and is forced to flee before the bomb goes off. On the ride back to the base, Sanborn becomes emotional and confesses to James that he can no longer cope with the pressure of being in EOD, and relishes the prospect of finally leaving Iraq and starting a family. James is next seen back at home with his wife and child, visibly bored with civilian life. One night he has an internal monologue in the form of speaking aloud to his infant son, where he says that there is only "one thing" that he knows he loves. He is next seen back in Iraq, ready to serve another year as part of an EOD team with Delta Company.

The Hurt Locker is a Template:Fy American war thriller directed by Kathryn Bigelow. Shot in Jordan, the film is based on recently declassified information about a U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) (bomb squad) team in 2004 Iraq. The Hurt Locker is written by Mark Boal, a freelance writer who was embedded with a bomb squad.

The Hurt Locker was picked up by distributor Summit Entertainment. The film was released in the United States on June 26, 2009 in New York and Los Angeles. Based on the success of its limited run, the independent film received a more widespread theatrical release on July 24, 2009.

Plot

In Iraq, an Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit is forced to play a dangerous game of cat and mouse in the chaos of war in a city where everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb.[2] Jeremy Renner plays the leader of the EOD team, as he contends with not only diffusing bombs in the backdrop of a war but also the psychological and emotional strain that it inflicts.[3] When a new sergeant, William James (Jeremy Renner), takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Eldridge (Brian Geraghty), by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. James behaves as if he's indifferent to death. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James' true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever.[4]

Cast

Production

The script was written by first-time screenwriter Mark Boal, a freelance writer who has contributed to Playboy, The Village Voice and Rolling Stone magazines and who also wrote the short story that inspired the film In the Valley of Elah.[5] Boal spent time embedded with a real bomb squad, which was a source for the story.[6] According to Boal, "It's the first movie about the Iraq war that purports to show the experience of the soldiers."[7]

Other members of the key filmmaking crew include director of photography Barry Ackroyd, film editors Chris Innis and Bob Murawski, production designer Karl Júlíusson, production sound mixer Ray Beckett, and costume designer George Little. The film's real explosions and special effects were designed by Richard Stutsman and his team. The score was composed by Academy Award nominated composer Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders.

The Hurt Locker was shot mainly on location in the Middle East, over forty-four days from July to September 2007, during the height of the Iraq war surge. Often four or more camera crews filmed simultaneously, which resulted in nearly 200 hours of footage.[8][9] There were also two days of pick up shots filmed in or around Vancouver, Canada, to accommodate home town actress Evangeline Lilly.

Although the filmmakers scouted for locations in Morocco, director Kathryn Bigelow sought greater authenticity and decided to film in Jordan because of its close proximity to Iraq. Some of the locations were less than three miles from the Iraqi border.[8] All the Iraqi roles in the film were played by displaced Iraqi war refugees living in Jordan, many of them trained actors who had been forced to flee their country.[8]. They included roles by Suhail Aldabbach, Nabil Koni, Feisal Sadoun, Imad Dadudi, Hasan Darwish, Wasfi Amour, Nibras Quassem, Nader Tarawneh and very notably Christopher Sayegh in the role of "Beckham", the Iraqi street vendor kid who befriends Sergeant First Class William James played by Jeremy Renner.

Lead actor Jeremy Renner, who trained with real EOD teams prior to shooting the film, says that great pains were taken to ensure the film's authenticity.[10] According to Renner, shooting the film in the Middle East contributed to this. "There were two by fours with nails being dropped from two-story buildings that hit me in the helmet and they were throwing rocks... we got shot at a few times while we were filming," Renner said. "When you see it, you're gonna feel like you've been in war."[11]

"You can't fake that amount of heat," Anthony Mackie who plays Sgt. Sanborn says, adding, "When you are on set and all of the extras are Iraqi refugees, it really informs the movie that you're making. When you start hearing the stories from a true perspective... of people who were actually there, it gives you a clear viewpoint of where you are as an artist and the story you would like to tell. It was a great experience to be there."[12]

Release

Festival screenings

The Hurt Locker had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 4, 2008, and the film received a 10-minute standing ovation at the end of its screening.[13] The film won the SIGNIS grand prize at the Venice Film Festival. According to the jury’s statement, the motivation for this choice is "the filmmakers' uncompromising approach to the Iraq war and its consequences seen through the experience of the bomb technicians for whom war is an addiction rather than a cause. The film challenges the audience’s view of war in general and the current war in particular because it demonstrates the struggle between violence to the body and psychological alienation."[14] The Hurt Locker received several other awards in Venice, including the Arca Cinemagiovani Award (Arca Young Cinema Award) for "Best Film Venezia 65" (chosen by an international youth jury); the Human Rights Film Network Award; and the "La Navicella" – Venezia Cinema Award.[15]

The film also screened at the 33rd Annual Toronto International Film Festival on September 8,[13] where it generated "keen interest", though distributors were reluctant to buy it since previous films about the Iraq War performed poorly at the box office.[16] It was listed as being among the "top 6 picks" of the festival.[17][18] Festival co-director Bailey says that The Hurt Locker "unlocked the key to making a film about the Iraq War. It transcends what is going on in the headlines... and finds something that's mysterious and symbolic."[19] Summit Entertainment purchased the film for distribution in the United States in what was perceived as "a skittish climate for pic sales".[20]

The Hurt Locker went on a film festival world tour, having been screened out of competition at the Zurich Film Festival[21] and the 37th Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in Montreal.[22][23] It was scheduled as the opening film at the Mar del Plata Film Festival in Argentina in mid-November 2008 and at the Fifth Dubai International Film Festival on December 16, 2008.[24][25][26] The film premiered at the 2008 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in Estonia, and also at the Göteborg International Film Festival in Sweden in January 2009.[27][28][29][30]

The Hurt Locker was screened at the 2009 tenth annual Film Comment Selects Festival of the Film Society of Lincoln Center.[31] The 2009 South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas also included The Hurt Locker screening out-of-competition.[32][33]

The film was a centerpiece presentation at the third annual 2009 AFI Dallas International Film Festival, where director Bigelow received an honorary Dallas Star Award.[34][35] The Hurt Locker also screened in Bologna, Italy as part of the 2009 Bologna Human Rights Nights Film Festival which ran from March 27, 2009 through April 5, 2009.[36] The Hurt Locker has also screened at The Seattle International Film Festival in May 2009 and at the 2009 Philadelphia Film Festival.[37][38]

Theatrical run

The Hurt Locker was first publicly released in Italy by Warner Bros. Pictures on October 10, 2008.[13] Its next public release was in the United States, where it had a limited release at four theaters on June 26, 2009.[1] The film had the highest per-screen average box office during its limited opening weekend, which averaged $36,000 per screen besting that of box office hit, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.[39][40] It held the highest per-screen-average of any movie playing theatrically in the U.S. for the first two weeks of its release, gradually moving into the top 20 chart with much wider-released, bigger budget studio films. It has hovered around number 13 or number 14 on box office charts for an additional four weeks.[41] Based on that success, distributor Summit Entertainment went wider to more than 500 screens on July 24, 2009.[1][42][43][44] As of August 16, 2009, the independently produced and financed film has grossed a total of $10,560,267 in the U.S., Italy and Iceland. It has not yet been released in other foreign countries or territories.[1]

According to the Los Angeles Times, The Hurt Locker has performed better than most recent dramas about Middle East conflict. The independent film was acquired by Summit Entertainment at last year's Toronto International Film Festival for $1.5 million and has since made almost eleven million. According to the Times, The Hurt Locker has already outperformed 2007's In the Valley of Elah (which had $6.8 million domestic theatrical gross), is quickly passing 2008's Stop-Loss ($10.9 million) and even could surpass 2007's Lions for Lambs ($15 million), which starred A-listers Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford.[45]

Critical reception

The Hurt Locker has received widespread acclaim from critics.[46] Rotten Tomatoes reported that 98% of critics gave the film a positive review, based on a sample of 130, with an average score of 8.4 out of 10.[47] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film has received an average score of 94 based on 33 reviews.[46] Several reviewers have described it as the best film yet made about the Iraq war.[48][49][50]

Reviewing the film for TIME magazine at Venice, film critic Richard Corliss said, "The Hurt Locker is a near-perfect movie about men in war, men at work. Through sturdy imagery and violent action, it says that even Hell needs heroes."[51] Toronto Star critic Peter Howell said, "Just when you think the battle of Iraq war dramas has been fought and lost, along comes one that demands to be seen... If you can sit through The Hurt Locker without your heart nearly pounding through your chest, you must be made of granite."[52] Entertainment Weekly's film critic Lisa Schwarzbaum gave the film the rare "A" rating, calling it, "an intense, action-driven war pic, a muscular, efficient standout that simultaneously conveys the feeling of combat from within as well as what it looks like on the ground. This ain't no war videogame."[53]

Film critic Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times praised the film with, "The Hurt Locker has killer impact... Overwhelmingly tense, overflowing with crackling verisimilitude, it's the film about the war in Iraq that we've been waiting for."[54]

The New York Times film critic A.O. Scott wrote of the film, "The Hurt Locker is the best nondocumentary American feature made yet about the war in Iraq... You may emerge from “The Hurt Locker” shaken, exhilarated and drained, but you will also be thinking."[55] Joe Morgenstern of the Wall Street Journal called it, "A first-rate action thriller, a vivid evocation of urban warfare in Iraq, a penetrating study of heroism and a showcase for austere technique, terse writing and a trio of brilliant performances."[56] Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun Times gave it four stars stating, "The Hurt Locker represents a return to strong, exciting narrative. Here is a film about a bomb disposal expert that depends on character, dialogue and situation to develop almost unbearable suspense... Staff Sgt. James is played by Jeremy Renner, who immediately goes on the short list for an Oscar nomination. His performance is not built on complex speeches but on a visceral projection of who this man is and what he feels."[57][58]

Less favorably, Variety's Derek Elley comments "war may be hell, but watching war movies can also be hell, especially when they don't get to the point."[59] Elley did praise the film's editing, cinematography, costume and production design, while Variety contributor Anne Thompson has called the film, "riveting and intense", suggesting that it could be an early contender for the 2009 Academy Awards.[60][61][62]

Kyle Smith of the New York Post said "Despite its pumped-up admiration for our troops and some scenes that spurt adrenaline like a fire hose, this sort-of-thriller about a bomb squad working in 2004 is stretched both timewise and for plausibility."[63]

Awards and honors

Besides the four award wins and five nominations at the Venice Film Festival, The Hurt Locker was also nominated for International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography CAMERIMAGE PLUS Grand Prix Golden Frog award for best cinematography by Barry Ackroyd.[64] Jeremy Renner and Anthony Mackie were nominated for best acting categories for the 2009 Independent Spirit Awards.[65] The AFI Dallas 2009 International Film Festival has awarded the AFI DALLAS honorary Star Award to the film's director, Bigelow.[34][35] The film's director has also received recognition from ShoWest, the annual film exhibition confab in Las Vegas.[66] At the 14th Annual Nantucket International Film Festival in Massachusetts, the Showtime Tony Cox Award for Screenwriting was awarded to The Hurt Locker screenwriter, Mark Boal.[67]
