The Hurt Locker

The hurt locker is about a group of bomb technicians whom volunteer to take up the challenges set aside for them in Baghdad, Iraq. They are a part of a bomb squad, with their ideal task being to look out for bombs, handmade bombs around the city and disarm them. Making the place a safer environment and surrounding for the people. Both the Iraqis and the Americans. It is a very dangerous job and very risk taking, as it involves getting as close as possible to these bombs and trying to disarming them in any case and situation with random people watching throughout the streets. One wrong move, and your dead. Sadly the team leader dies in one of the incidents, and the team is forced to take upon their new leader, William James whose confidence arises so much they start to dislike him. He acts unsafely and disturbingly at times but even though with all his attitude, he stands out to be a very brave and clever member. You start to feel the tension between the members because of this when sergeant James suddenly became in charge as they're not used to have a leader with such behavioral manners in such a dangerous place.

I think it is an interesting story, because the movie is partly based upon real events as well, which makes it more heart pounding. And every bomb they disarm is very risk taking so it keeps you actively watching. It shows how important a team leader really is in the role he/she is playing. It is a great movie to watch and to remember how some individuals jobs are so dangerous, that they might risk their own life to help the surrounding.
