Why we chose it
Its screenwriter rode with a bomb disposal patrol in Baghdad before writing it, and the film made Kathryn Bigelow the first woman to win the Oscar for Best Director. Jeremy Renner has his breakthrough opposite Ralph Fiennes as soldiers of flesh and blood, and you never know when a bomb will go off.
Synopsis
When an American bomb disposal team in Iraq loses its leader to a roadside bomb in the second year of the war, Sergeant William James takes his place, and on his very first call he defuses a device moments before anyone can set it off. He does things his own way and explains himself to no one. His two men are counting down the days left on their tour, and they begin to wonder whether James wants to go home at all.
