- Heroes of the Invasion. When the President of the United States sent troops to invade Iraq over fears the country’s strongman, Saddam Hussein, possessed weapons of mass destruction, Americans were split over the decision to go to war.
- Superb acting. Before they became huge stars as part of the Marvel Universe starring in the Captain America and Avengers franchise, Jeremy Renner and Anthony Mackie were up-and-coming unknown actors when they starred in this film.

Oct 17, 2014 · In summary, Hurt Locker is a great war movie about an EOD team in Iraq. It is very different from most other military movies because the entire movie is from a Soldier’s perspective of the war. Overall, I give it an 8 of 10 and consider it a must watch.
THE HURT LOCKER is an intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat.
