Hurt Locker, The


Rating = B+

This film gives one the feeling of being in the boots of the three-man Army bomb disposal team working in Iraq. There is plenty of tension and violence but the director doesn't dwell of the violence — nothing gratuitous. The acting is excellent.

(Total admission for two seniors was $3 on twofer-Tuesday; $4 per person for double features on Monday; babysitting for $7.50 per child; beer, wine, and pizza available to eat while you watch the movies.)
