Jeremy Renner’s breakout role in “The Hurt Locker” just got major retroactive respect, landing at 3 on StudioBinder’s greatest war movies list. As adrenaline-fueled bomb disposal expert Staff Sgt. William James, Renner delivered a career-defining performance that earned him his first Oscar nod and helped the film sweep six Academy Awards — including Best Picture and Best Director for Kathryn Bigelow, the first woman to win that honor. With a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score, the film remains a powerhouse of tension and storytelling. That role launched Renner into stardom, leading to iconic parts in “Mission: Impossible,” “The Town,” and Marvel’s Hawkeye. Now, he’s back as Mike McLusky in Taylor Sheridan’s final season of “Mayor of Kingstown,” proving that a truly gripping performance can still dominate decades later.
