LOCKER</U> (R) <FONT size=3>Let's let my friend Leonard Maltin, the

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG>THE HURT LOCKER — It takes all kinds of
people to fight a war, and <EM>The Hurt Locker</EM> focuses on a demolitions
expert for whom “war is a drug.” That’s the fascination of <EM>The Hurt
Locker</EM>, which may be the best film to emerge from the current situation in
Iraq. Jeremy Renner plays a man who doesn’t say much but willingly, even
eagerly, puts his life on the line every day trying to decipher the workings of
unexploded bombs and their intricate riggings. It’s a fascinating character
study that also explores the teamwork involved in waging a war that isn’t fought
on the front lines but in unexpected places—or sometimes right in the middle of
a public street. </STRONG></FONT>
<P><FONT size=3 face=Arial><STRONG><FONT size=2>One extended sequence in which
Renner and his squadron mates (played by Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty)
conduct a long-range shooting match with the enemy, relying on each other to
help fight fatigue, is galvanizing—one of the best single depictions of men in
war I’ve ever seen.</FONT> <FONT size=2>Leonard
Maltin</FONT></STRONG></FONT></P>
