Blink and you’ll miss Evangeline Lilly in The Hurt Locker but it’s still a must-see

Evangeline Lilly in Elle Magazine

Most of us know Evangeline Lilly from her role as Kate on the tv show Lost but she also has a small role in the film, “The Hurt Locker” that’s playing in theaters now.

I recently went to see this, expecting to see…’just another war movie.’ Well, I came away from seeing The Hurt Locker, thinking it was so good, I HAD to find a way to write a blog post about it (even though my blog has nothing to do with war movies!) So there you go. See it! And kudos to Evangeline Lilly for taking the small part of the wife of the main soldier, played by Jeremy Renner. She does a wonderful job and the story is so good, I’m glad she took the role. I wonder if any other ‘name’ actresses turned this part down because of how small it is but I have to say, it’s their loss. This film is a must-see:

More about the film (from: TrailerAddict.com)
The Hurt Locker, winner of the 2008 Venice Film Festival SIGNIS Grand Prize, is a riveting and suspenseful portrait of the elite members of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squad, soldiers who volunteer to challenge the odds and save lives in one of the world’s most dangerous jobs. Three EOD members battle insurgents and each other as they seek out and disarm deadly bombs in a thrilling race against time. A heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat look at the effects of combat and danger on the human psyche, The Hurt Locker, meaning a place of ultimate pain, is based on the first-hand observations of journalist and screenwriter Mark Boal, who was embedded with a special bomb unit in Iraq. It is a gripping portrayal of real-life sacrifice and heroism and a layered, probing study of the soul-numbing rigors and potent allure of the modern battlefield.

I loved the rest of the cast as well, including stars Jeremy Renner:
