Director Florent-Emilio Siri (Hostage, L'ennemi intime) takes on the mysterious and complex life of the singer played here by Jérémie Renier (The Kid with the Bike, In Bruges). François was a much-loved star and shrewd businessman, great showman and marketing magician, hit machine and magazine publisher, but also a family man and...

Shot with a budget of $11 million, The Hurt Locker is not your usual war film and it's going to be considered as a classic in the upcoming years. In terms of action, it's not Saving Private Ryan (not that the action scenes in this film suck). As for the script, don't expect to see something like Flags of Our Fathers or L'ennemi intime (not that the script is lame). In short, be aware that The Hurt Locker definitely turns the war genre upside down.
The story is centred on three soldiers of an U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (Eod) unit working in the streets of Iraq. Staff Sgt. William James (Jeremy Renner) not only has to deal with the bombs, but also with the psychological effect the war has on his mates Sgt. Jt Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Specialist Owen Eldridge (Brian Geraghty). Besides, as time goes by, the insurgency gets stronger.
