USA, 2009, 2 hours 11 minutes

Winner of 6 Oscars including Best Director & Best Picture

Life is tough for bomb-disposal experts in the inferno of the Iraq war. But when their commander is obliterated, Staff Sergeant William James arrives, whose recklessness in action borders on the insane. From the steel-wire tension of the opening sequence onwards, where a 'regular' mission inexorably slips into horrific mishap, there's not a second's let-up. This is an unyielding master-class in the racking-up of tension to the point that thrill distorts into exquisite agony.
