Staff Pick: The Hurt Locker

Movie Poster for The Hurt Locker

Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker is an intense film about the dangerous work of an American bomb squad during wartime in the Middle East. A tense and action-packed film, The Hurt Locker is well-paced and well-written, providing a new way of looking at a long-standing conflict outside gun fare and politics. The characters particularly add a personal dimension to the story, amplifying the danger of their work.

The Hurt Locker is located on the 5th floor. Check for availability.
