He is a specialist. His tunnel vision dominates. Will his bravado help or hurt him?

The Hurt Locker |  2009

Blurb
Kathryn Bigelow won the Directing Oscar for this film in 2010 - 1st woman to win this award! 

War movies are not my jam...Hurt Locker is a worthy exploration of what makes people embrace danger or walk away. The intelligent scenes, character development, well directed acting, visceral camera work, personality delivery, and story will engage your brain and make you question life choices. Choose a great bourbon for this, neat with a water back.
