BAFTA- and Oscar-winning (2010 Best Film/Motion Picture), impressive Iraq war movie in the same vein as HBO's Generation Kill. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, who won Best Achievement in Directing 2010 Oscar. A cast of mainly unknown actors (although Ralph Fiennes puts in a short-lived appearance as a Brit). Only 7.8/10 on IMDB, but maybe that's because the subject matter - about the operations of a US army bomb squad (Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit) and their reckless sergeant leader played by Jeremy Renner (Sergeant First Class William James) - is not everyone's cup of tea. Right up my street, though. Highly recommended.
