The Hurt Locker (2008)

Winner of 6 Oscars, including Best Picture. Starring Jeremy Renner, who gives a great performance, Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty. In the beginning of the film we see a quote saying “War is a drug”, and the main character proves that’s true. William James is part of an elite Army bomb squad unit, who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat, in a city where everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb. But James behaves as if he’s indifferent to death. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James’ true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever.

Sergeant JT Sanborn: Naw, man. I’m done. I want a son. I want a little boy, Will. I mean, how do you do it, you know? Take the risk?
Staff Sergeant William James: I don’t know. I guess I don’t think about it.
Sergeant JT Sanborn: But you realize every time you suit up, every time we go out, it’s life or death. You roll the dice, and you deal with it. You recognize that don’t you?
Staff Sergeant William James: Yea… Yea, I do. But I don’t know why.
[sighs]
Staff Sergeant William James: I don’t know, JT. You know why I’m the way I am?
Sergeant JT Sanborn: No, I don’t.
