FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

The Hurt Locker


Rating: 6
Length: 2:15
Starring: Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie
Genre: Mature Audience, Drama, Action

We follow a bomb-disposal unit in Iraq as the soldiers wind down the final days of their tour of duty. The movie is tense and grizzly- a steady diet of day-by-day action where the guys "roll the dice" and put their lives on the line. Renner is a tough, courageous character you wouldn't want to cross in a bar. The "fog of war" applies here. The movie is a possible candidate for an Academy Award. I warn you: it's not easy to watch and hard to follow.
