The Hurt Locker (2008)

The Hurt Locker is a war picture with a killer adrenaline rush. These aren't ordinary soldiers. These men work with bombs. It's a race against the clock as Sgt. William James tries to find and disarm IED's in war torn Baghdad. Kathryn Bigelow was born to direct scenes like this. It's excruciating to watch, but you can't have it any other way. I want a war movie to rattle me. The Hurt Locker did just that.

Need I also forget to mention that the film stars Hawkeye and Falcon? Saving the day for the first time. MCU fans will not be disappointed.
