If you loved Detroit, try The Hurt Locker

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Kathryn Bigelow, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Detroit, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Hurt Locker is

Baghdad streets, desert sun, a ticking bomb. A sergeant joins a tight-knit army bomb squad, his unorthodox methods sparking tension. Bigelow directs with a keen eye for the dangers of addiction.
