One of the best war films ever is on the BBC - but you must act soon | Films | Entertainment Back in 2008, Kathryn Bigelow directed Jeremy Renner and Anthony Mackie in one of the most influential war films of the 21st century. The Hurt Locker focuses on an Iraq War bomb disposal unit, as they deal with the psychological toll of being targeted by insurgents. Screenwriter Mark Boal even drew on his experience from embedded access as a war correspondent. Made on a budget of just $15 million, the thriller was critically acclaimed and was nominated for nine Oscars the following year. The Hurt Locker won an impressive six including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Director. Bigelow was the first woman to win Best Director and the film was the first Best Picture winner to be directed by a woman. Shot in Jordan, just miles from the Iraqi border, the movie also co-stars Guy Pearce, Ralph Fiennes and Evangeline Lilly. The Hurt Locker is on BBC Two this Sunday evening at 10:55pm and is also streaming on ITV Premium and NOW. Source link Posted: 2024-07-20 19:30:16 |
