The Hurt Locker (2009)

from Sibling Cinema Hosted by Bonnie and Dennis

Episode 30: THE HURT LOCKER Get ready for a fiery episode of Sibling Cinema as hosts Bonnie and Dennis lock horns in a heated debate over the war thriller, "The Hurt Locker." Will they find common ground or stand firmly on opposing sides? Explore the storytelling, suspense, and the extraordinary performance of Jeremy Renner that propelled "The Hurt Locker" to win multiple Academy Awards. Is the film an unflinching portrayal of the Iraq War and its psychological toll on bomb disposal experts, or does its authenticity and the ethical questions it raises lack substance. Tune in to Sibling Cinema as Bonnie and Dennis spar over the merits and shortcomings of the Kathryn Bigelow-directed war flick. It won Best Picture of 2009, and ranks at number 40 on our Best Picture Countdown.* Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court. *What is this list? We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
