The Hurt Locker

I have a new favorite gambling movie.

I watched The Hurt Locker a few days ago on pay per view, then woke up and rewatched it and haven’t stopped thinking about it yet.

It is about a bomb disposal guy over in Iraq, who it turns out loves the “gamblers high” from risking his life figuring out how to defuse bombs.

One of my favorite, most insightful pieces of movie dialogue is the main character talking to his son, who is not old enough to talk yet, about how the older we get the fewer things we “love”.

This movie is great and will keep you engrossed from the opening scene until the very last scene.
