Menambahkan BNI debit card pada akun Paypal

Beberapa waktu yang lalu saya sudah coba verifikasi Paypal tanpa credit card, tanpa VCC, dan ternyata berhasil. Sekarang saya akan jelaskan cara menambahkan BNI debit card pada akun Paypal.

Tapi sebelum saya jelaskan lebih lanjut, saya pernah baca di salah satu blog yang menjelaskan verifikasi Paypal dengan mastercard dari Payoneer. Kebetulan saya juga mempunyai mastercard Payoneer tersebut. Setelah saya coba untuk verifikasi ternyata Paypal menolak mastercard tersebut. Padahal akun saya sudah aktif.



Saya coba menanyakan ke pihak Paypal kenapa kartu tersebut ditolak, berikut ini jawaban dari Paypal.

 Saya juga pernah menerima email dari Paypal yang menyebutkan kita bisa menambahkan kartu debit/debit card bank lokal pada akun Paypal kita, asal kartu tersebut ada logo mastercard.


Nah, sekarang sesuai judul posting di atas saya akan coba menambahkan BNI debitcard pada akun Paypal. Mengapa hal ini saya lakukan, soalnya kan di kartu tersebut juga terdapat logo mastercard, jadi iseng-iseng aja siapa tahu bisa.
Setelah saya masuk ke akun Paypal, saya coba menambahkan kartu debit, isi form secara lengkap, tunggu beberapa saat, hasilnya.............. ditolak. Kemudian saya menghububgi Paypal melalui emai, menanyakan mengapa kartu saya tersebut ditolak. Sekitar lima hari saya tunggu datang juga email balasan dari Paypal.


Sampai saat ini saya belum menghubungi pihak BNI mengapa kartu saya tidak bisa menerima pembayaran online, padahal internet banking sudah saya aktifkan.
Tunggu saja perkembangan selanjutnya. Pasti akan saya posting lagi. Terima kasih sudah mengujungi blog saya.

Tangled : movie


Walt Disney Pictures presents "Tangled," one of the most hilarious, hair-raising tales ever told. When the kingdom's most wanted -- and most charming -- bandit Flynn Rider (voice of Zachary Levi) hides out in a mysterious tower, he's taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of Mandy Moore), a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical, golden hair. Flynn's curious captor, who's looking for her ticket out of the tower where she's been locked away for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief and the unlikely duo sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse, an over-protective chameleon and a gruff gang of pub thugs. In theaters this holiday season in Disney Digital 3D", "Tangled" is a story of adventure, heart, humor and hair -- lots of hair.

Faster : movie

A headlong rush into the ultra-dangerous, ultra-competitive world of championship motorcycle racing, Mark Neale's "Faster" reps an often thrilling, always compelling intro to the sport, assuredly laying out the rules of the game and the key players in it. But while "Faster" is a natural for sports junkies and motorcycle enthusiasts, it also provides the kind of involving human element achieved by the best sports docus. Getting the message out in a crowded marketplace will be the primary marketing challenge faced by this debut release from Slamdance's newly formed distribution company, scheduled to open in Los Angeles and other select cities April 23.

Filmed over the course of the 2001 and 2002 racing seasons, docu hooks auds from the start with its visceral depiction of a sport that, nevertheless, has yet to achieve the same pop profile in the U.S. it has overseas. Having grown out of the more familiar indoor motorcross competitions seen more than 30 years ago in Bruce Brown's seminal "On Any Sunday," the MotoGP competition circuit consists of a series of 16 annual races that culminate with one champion.
While the bikes may look, to the untrained eye, like ordinary motorcycles, they can reach speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. The riders must use the entire force of their bodies to steer the bikes, we're told, and while rounding corners they frequently drag their knees along the track in order to create the proper level of resistance.
Pic shows the inevitable crashes -- spectacular slide-outs and excruciating end-over-end flips that almost always result in multiple broken bones (if not worse, as in the case of now-paralyzed former racer Wayne Rainey). Yet, the competitors persevere, often racing injured, taking a certain pride in their battle scars. (Among the film's more extraordinary sights: Australian racer Garry McCoy hobbling to his bike after having a titanium rod put in his leg, only to crash again.)

The spectacular footage of races and crashes often comes from on-board cameras that approximate the rider's p.o.v. And Neale finds plenty of time to acquaint us with the riders themselves, in particular McCoy, American whizkid John Hopkins and famed Italian rivals Valentino Rossi and Max Biaggi. We also meet the managers, mechanics and, in one memorable instance, the doctors working behind the scenes.
Still, if there were a concrete answer to the question of why men like this do the things they do, the sport itself would probably be a lot less thrilling. So, by and large, Neale trusts his images to tell what words can't, like the indescribable mix of terror, awe and exaltation that washes across the face of Hopkins' mother as she watches her son in one of his first pro races.

Technically, pic is highly accomplished, as Neale and cinematographer Grant Gee mix up the ultra-slick racing sequences with verite inserts captured on grainy, color-saturated film. The propulsive electronic music score by tomandandy ("Arlington Road") is a plus.

Morning Glory : movie

In order to fuel its phony, mostly unfunny narrative, "Morning Glory" advertises itself as a sharp comedy -- recycled body parts courtesy of "Broadcast News" -- about the death of hard news in an over-mediated environment that seeks only to amuse the masses to death. But first and foremost, the movie, as penned by Aline Brosh McKenna ("The Devil Wears Prada"), was clearly cooked up to sell Rachel McAdams as another Anne Hathaway, a spunky innocent abroad in shark-filled professional waters. Whip up all these bits and pieces from previous box-office hits into a candy-colored curd, all air and no substance, and you've got "Morning Glory," a steaming dish of "repellent moxie."


Repellent moxie is what our heroine Becky possesses a surfeit of, according to Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford), legendary news anchor and "third-worst person in the world." As newly hired executive producer of "Daybreak," a network morning TV show with next to no ratings, Becky demonstrates her take-charge moxie with a vengeance. After firing a lounge-lizard anchor with a foot fetish (Ty Burrell, fleetingly funny), she uses a contractual loophole to drag recalcitrant curmudgeon Pomeroy out of retirement and force him to share the monitor with Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton), veteran queen of early-morning fluff pieces. The ups and mostly downs that follow play like weekly episodes in a sitcom almost entirely devoid of comic zing or consistency.

'Morning Glory' First Look: Diane Keaton

McAdams' performance is so tweakin' frantic, it looks to be driven by Tourette's syndrome aggravated by a meth high. Desperate to be loved by the camera and us, she fast-forwards through a repertoire of infantile cutisms that backfire big-time. Squealing and dancing through Rockefeller Plaza after landing her dream job, she looks like an over-medicated Mary Tyler Moore. But on her worst day, MTM wouldn't have indulged in McAdams' perfect storm of twitchy mannerisms: McAdams babbles, blows stringy hair off her face, literally hops in place, drops stuff, bumps into everything, scritches up her face like a 5-year-old. "I hate spunk," you want to scream, reprising Lou Grant's exasperation with Mary Richards' blitzkrieg of perkiness.




Hard to care about the career success of a young woman who's more Energizer Bunny than creature of flesh and blood and human feelings. Even our Candida's obligatory love affair -- with a "smokin'" hot producer (Patrick Wilson, inert) -- goes by in a flash: a drink, a tête-à-tête, wham-bam thank you ma'am, and presto! the two are bonded for life. Boob Tube love in the fast lane.
But what's equally responsible for blighting "Morning Glory" is Harrison Ford's dead-in-the-water performance. In large measure, Becky's success -- and whatever wisdom she's meant to glean from her rite of passage in TV land -- hangs on her relationship with the crusty old newsman. As Pomeroy's character goes, so goes the movie. The role's potentially a juicy one, inviting the kind of grouch-and-charm offensive that Spencer Tracy or Ed Asner or Jack Nicholson could carry off with one hand tied behind them. The key to memorable curmudgeonry is projecting credible crust and crankiness while simultaneously leaking potential warmth and charm through chinks in the armor. It's a delicate seduction, and Mr. Ford doesn't know from delicacy. Again and again, he hammers McAdams and Keaton with heavy-handed nastiness and graceless grumping. No witty sparring here; he's just bitter and boring, and pretty quick we don't care whether his inner charisma ever "blooms." Whatever love-hate chemistry a pro like Nicholson might have generated with the effervescent Keaton is way outside Ford's comfort zone. He's just not worth perky Becky's trouble -- or ours.
In a rare moment of repose, Becky mulls over a tempting offer to join the "Today" show, flashing on the people she's worked with at "Daybreak" during her superhuman effort to resuscitate the morning show's ratings. These snapshots of folks she claims have become her "family" are emotional duds. We hardly recognize most of these strangers, because they've never been truly differentiated as memorably funny or quirky individuals. "Morning Glory" might have been saved by crack ensemble work on the order of "30 Rock" or "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." But who cares about the little people when it's all about McAdams and Ford walking off into the sunset together, pretending to have earned their comedic chops. It's a TV commercial, selling us on the pretty illusion that something significant and chuckle-worthy has happened during the previous 90 minutes.
"Morning Glory" will satisfy audiences trained to swallow this kind of dumb, soulless comedy as feel-good soma. It is what it's about - kissing frogs for ratings, entertainment that panders to the lowest common denominator.

SYNOPSIS

Here's the thing about action-blockbuster director Tony Scott: You can't stop him; you can only hope to contain him. Which is to say, how good, or perhaps how tolerable, a movie he turns out all depends on the kind of material he has to work with, because in a sense he just doesn't care. If you give Scott a scenario that allows him to indulge his baser instincts -- as in that of 2004's "Man on Fire," with its too-skeevy villains; child-endangerment story line; rank, teddy bear-clutching sentimentality; and so on -- he will indulge them no end. This isn't so much of a problem when the whole point of the enterprise is indulgence of baser instincts, as with his hot-vampires feature debut "The Hunger" or his Quentin Tarantino-scripted nerd-fantasy-fulfillment exercise "True Romance." It can tend to ruin what could have been perfectly decent genre exercises such as "Top Gun" and "Days of Thunder," wherein the macho preening and production bling bring the b.s. quotient to near-toxic levels even among those inclined to be indulgent.

It is refreshing and welcome, then, that the story told in Scott's latest, "Unstoppable," which opens by announcing that it's based on fact (as if anyone in the film's target audience will be inclined to look up the actual events and vet the film for accuracy in adhering to them), allows little opportunity for preening or preaching or any other species of peripheral-to-the-action nonsense. It sets up its irresistible-force premise very neatly: goofy human error at a train yard sets an unmanned locomotive speeding on a track that winds through a bunch of highly populated areas. That locomotive's got a payload of very toxic stuff in the cars attached to it. And circumstances involving engineering and human failure leave it up to two reluctantly matched railroad employees, a veteran driver played by Tony Scott veteran star Denzel Washington, and a newbie conductor played by the latest Capt. Kirk, Chris Pine, to avoid, and then catch up to, the deadly potential WMD-on-rails, and bring it to the halt that the film's very title itself posits as ... impossible!

Once you get over the fact that these guys have the most dazzling teeth you've ever seen on any pair of guys working on the railroad, Washington and Pike make an appealing, engaging team. Plus, their respective backstories, while predictable (Washington's veteran is facing potential redundancy, while Pike's battling anger issues and misunderstandings at home) are limned convincingly enough to make you care, sort of, and efficiently enough that it doesn't matter much if you don't. Hewing to the tacit blockbuster rule that if you've got to have a lot of exposition to get where you need to be, you ought to get someone staggeringly attractive to deliver it (see Brad Pitt in "Ocean's Thirteen" for a male embodiment of this principle), plays the train dispatcher/overseer who lets us know just how the situation came to be as bad as it is, how it could get worse, and what can be done about it. Kevin Dunn is the not-entirely-evil rail exec who of course wants to cut corners, and compared to his function in the "Rosario DawsonTransformers" films, this must've been like Chekhov for him.
But never mind the human factors; the real stars of this film are the mechanical behemoths that zip and zoom and crash into cars and other things that unwisely end up in their paths, and that must be tamed, finally, by the charisma and courage of Denzel, with an assist from Pine. Scott handles the action and suspense aspects of this picture with customary élan. These days, when smash-bam-boom set pieces in big Hollywood pictures seem almost stroboscopic, Scott's version of quick-cutting seems practically classical. These days he's also messing around with little stutter-zooms for emphasis, but the great thing here is that as frantic as the action can become, it always parses (or seems to, which is finally all that counts). With its perhaps sincere respect for the working Joes whom circumstance can turn into heroes at any moment, "Unstoppable" is a movie that's all about getting the job done, no matter what that job happens to be in the course of a day. The movie, easily Scott's best since 1995's "Crimson Tide," does exactly that thing itself.

Pada suatu hari. Ciee... Kayak dongeng aja. Saat aku sedang browsing, aku membaca di suatu situs tentang kartu debit Paypal. Karena tertarik untuk memilki kartu tersebut (sepertinya keren), aku langsung googling. Setelah cari-cari di google beberapa jam aku tetap tidak menemukan cara untuk mendapatkan kartu debit tersebut. Rasa penasarankupun makin bertambah. Akhirnya aku putuskan untuk menghubungi Paypal. Aku kirim email ke Paypal yang isinya minta penjelasan gimana cara mendapatkan Kartu Debit Paypal, yang keren itu.

Setelah menunggu dua hari akhirnya aku dapat email balasan dari Paypal. Tapi sayang, isinya sedikit bikin kecewa. Ternyata kartu debit Paypal hanya untuk warga Amerika. Warga negara kawasan Asia tidak berhak memilki kartu tersebut. Berikut email dari Paypal.


Setelah diterjemahkan dengan google translate kurang lebih seperti ini:

Red Dawn : movie

An American city awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky -- shockingly, the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. Taking inspiration from their high school mascot, they call themselves the Wolverines, banding together to protect one another, liberate their town from its captors, and take back their freedom.


 

Skyline : movie

A series of blindingly bright lights appear all over Los Angeles, mesmerizing the citizens of the city while luring them to an uncertain fate in this sci-fi thriller from sibling filmmakers Greg and Colin Strause. As speculation regarding the origin of the mysterious lights runs rampant, a Los Angeles entrepreneur (Donald Faison), his best friend, Jarrod (Eric Balfour), and Jarrod's frightened girlfriend (Scottie Thompson) struggle to resist temptation as they seek out the source of the luminous threat.


 

Sandra Bullock : actress

Born:
July 26, 1964 in Washington, DC
Giving new meaning to the term America's Sweetheart, Sandra Bullock won over scores of filmgoers and critics with her wholesome, exuberant portrayals of ordinary women in extraordinary circumstances. Since her breakthrough role as Speed's unwitting heroine, Bullock has enjoyed the type of popularity that was in the past reserved for actresses along the lines of Mary Pickford or Shirley Temple. Born in Washington, D.C., on July 26, 1964, Bullock was the elder daughter of a vocal coach dad and an opera singer mom. Touring through Europe with her mother, Bullock was given her first taste of show business while still a child. Back in the States, she attended high school in Virginia and was a popular cheerleader, whose classmates dubbed her the person Most Likely to Brighten Your Day. After a stint at East Carolina University, Bullock took her sunny nature to New York, where she began concentrating on an acting career. After tending bar and studying her craft with dramatician Sanford Meisner, she got her start with a number of stage productions. It was for one of these productions, the off-Broadway No Time Flat, that Bullock received a rave review for her portrayal of a Southern belle, the strength of which was enough to land her an agent.
Television work followed, with a small role in the 1989 Bionic Showdown: The Six-Million-Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman and, after her migration to Los Angeles, Melanie Griffith's role in the short-lived television version of Working Girl. Miraculously surviving the widespread career fallout that surrounded her first starring film role in Love Potion No. 9 (1992), the actress went on the following year to star in the similarly ill-fated The Thing Called Love. However, things began to look up the same year when the struggling actress became the last-minute replacement for Lori Petty in the Sylvester Stallone action flick Demolition Man. Though her role was essentially limited to intermittent saliva exchanges with Stallone, her performance won the attention of the film's producer, Joel Silver, who in turn recommended her to Jan de Bont. De Bont, then in the process of casting his upcoming bus-with-a-bomb action film, chose the struggling actress for the part of Annie, the film's reluctant heroine. In casting Bullock against Keanu Reeves, de Bont reportedly came up against considerable resistance from studio executives, who wanted someone blonde and buxom for the part. The director persevered and, in 1994, Bullock took her place in movie history as part of Speed, one of the most successful action films ever made.
The film propelled the actress to stardom, surprising no one more than Bullock herself, who later remarked, "never in a million years did I think a bus movie would open every door I ever possibly wanted open."
Doors now wide open, Bullock next starred in the 1995 romantic comedy While You Were Sleeping. The film was a critical and commercial hit, and the actress followed it up with a screen adaptation of John Grisham's A Time to Kill, co-starring Ashley Judd and Matthew McConaughey. The success of that film was the last that Bullock would enjoy for a while, as she then entered something of a sophomore slump with disappointments such as In Love and War (1996), Two If By Sea (1996), and, perhaps most excruciating, Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997). Fortunately for Bullock, her audiences seemed to be inclined to forgive and forget, and she had a modest rebound with the following year's Hope Floats, which also happened to be the first project of the production company she founded, Fortis Films. The same year, Bullock also starred in another romantic comedy, Practical Magic, opposite Nicole Kidman. The film provided another modest success for Bullock, who, back in the saddle again, proceeded to do yet another romantic comedy, this time starring with Ben Affleck in Forces of Nature (1999). Although the film proved to be a critical and commercial disappointment, Bullock was back on the radar with a number of projects in 2000, including the critically disembowelled comedy Gun Shy and 28 Days, a comedy that starred the actress as a newspaper columnist forced to enter rehab after her drinking problem assumes uncontrollable proportions. Following her role in Miss Congeniality (2000) as an FBI agent forced to go undercover in the Miss U.S.A. beauty pagent in order to prevent a bombing, Bullock faced off against a more low-key menace in the thriller Murder By Numbers (2002) before returning to lighthearted drama with Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (also 2002). Her status as the reigning queen of the chick flick permanantly established, Bullock next teamed with Hugh Grant for the amiable romantic comedy Two Weeks Notice before taking a two year furlough from the big screen - during which time she would assume the duty of executive producer for the George Lopez show in addition to turning in the occasional guest appearance.
In 2005, Bullock found herself at the center of Oscar talk when she essayed the role of the racist wife of a prominant district attorney in Paul Haggis' critically acclaimed drama Crash. An unflinching look at racism in the multicultural melting pot of Los Angeles, Crash defied expectations to take home best editing, best screenplay, and best motion picture at the 77th Annual Academy Awards. That same year, a return to her role as bumbling undercover FBI agent Gracie Heart in Miss Congeniality 2 found Bullock returning to familiar lighthearted territory, although the sequel performed far more poorly than the first film. With her role as a lovelorn doctor who discovers a curious rift in time in 2006's romantic fantasy The Lake House (a remake of the 2000 South Korean film Siworae), the actress marked a graceful return to swooning, romantic pictures, not to mention a reteaming with her Speed man Keanu Reeves. Determined to remain firmly planted in serious acting, Bullock singed on to play author Harper Lee in the movie Infamous which, because of its unfortunate timing, was swallowed by comparisons to the film Capote, and went largely unnoticed. Undaunted, Bullock singed on for the supernatural thriller Premonition, about a woman who experiences shifts in the events of the universe and must use the visions to prevent her husband's death.
2009 turned out to be one of the popular actresses most memorable years. In addition to producing and playing the lead in the smash hit romantic comedy The Proposal, Bullock earned the best reviews of her career as a protective mother helping raise a struggling high-school football player in The Blind Side. For her work in that movie, Bullock won the Golden Globe and the Screen Actors Guild award for Best Actress, and also captured her first Oscar nomination in that same category. porn movie

Jeff Bridges : actor

Born:
December 4, 1949 in Los Angeles, CA
The son of actor Lloyd Bridges, Jeff Bridges made his screen bow as a petulant infant in the arms of his real-life mother, Dorothy, in the 1950 Jane Greer melodrama The Company She Keeps; his troublesome older brother in that film was played by his real older brother Beau. The younger Bridges made a more formal debut before the cameras at age eight, in an episode of his dad's TV series Sea Hunt. After serving in the Coast Guard reserve, the budding actor studied acting at the Herbert Berghof school. While older brother Beau was developing into a character player, Bridges, thanks in equal parts to his ability and ruggedly handsome looks, became a bona fide leading man. He had his first major success with a leading role in Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show (1971), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. Two years later, he won yet another Oscar nomination, this time for Best Supporting Actor in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974). Bridges worked steadily throughout the rest of the 1970s, starring in a number of films, including Hearts of the West (1975) and Stay Hungry (1976). The 1980s brought further triumph, despite starting out inauspiciously with a part in the notoriously ill-fated Heaven's Gate (1981). In 1984, Bridges won yet another Oscar nomination for his leading role in Starman and continued to find acclaim for his work, in such movies as The Morning After (1986) and The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989). The latter featured Bridges and brother Beau as struggling musicians, as well as Michelle Pfeiffer in a performance marked by both the actress' own talent and her ability to roll around on a piano wearing a figure-hugging red velvet dress.
Bridges began the 1990s with Texasville, the desultory sequel to The Last Picture Show. Things began to improve with acclaimed performances in Fearless (1993) and American Heart (1995) (the latter marked his producing debut), and the actor found commercial, if not critical, success with the bomb thriller Blown Away in 1994. More success followed, with a lead role in the Barbra Streisand vehicle The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996), and as a hapless and perpetually stoned bowling aficionado in the Coen brothers' The Big Lebowski (1998). In 1999, Bridges returned to the thriller genre with Arlington Road, playing the concerned neighbor of urban terrorist Tim Robbins, and then switched gears with Albert Brooks' comedy drama The Muse. In addition to his acting achievements, Bridges has also written some 200 songs, a talent which he memorably incorporated in The Fabulous Baker Boys.
Bridges delivered a typically strong performance in 1999's Simpatico, which featured the actor as a horse-breeder embroiled in a complicated scam orchestrated by a once good friend, while The Contender (2000) found him playing a happy-go-lucky U.S. President suddenly forced to decide if his Vice Presidential candidate's rumored sexual escapades will affect his ultimate decision. Though K-PAX (2001) fared badly in theaters, Jeff's performance as Kevin Spacey's character's psychiatrist was solid, as was his role of a soft-spoken kidnapping victim in director Dominique Forma's Scenes of the Crime. 2003 was a polarizing year in terms of critical success -- despite an A-list cast including Bridges himself, Penelope Cruz, and Jessica Lange, Masked and Anonymous went unseen by most, and disliked by the rest. Luckily, Seabiscuit catapulted Bridges back into Hollywood's spotlight, as did Tod Wiliams' Door in the Floor, based on John Irving's novel A Widow for One Year.
In 2008, Bridges landed the plum role of the bad guy in the box-office blockbuster Iron Man, but it was his turn as fading country music star Bad Blake in Crazy Heart that earned him the accolades that had eluded the respected actor throughout his career. For his work in that film Bridges captured the SAG award, the Golden Globe, and his fifth Oscar nomination -- marking his second nod in the lead category 25 years after his first for Starman.

The Hurt Locker : movie

Based on the personal wartime experiences of journalist Mark Boal (who adapted his experiences with a bomb squad into a fact-based, yet fictional story), director Kathryn Bigelow's Iraq War-set action thriller The Hurt Locker presents the conflict in the Middle East from the perspective of those who witnessed the fighting firsthand -- the soldiers. As an elite Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal team tactfully navigates the streets of present-day Iraq, they face the constant threat of death from incoming bombs and sharp-shooting snipers. In Baghdad, roadside bombs are a common danger. The Army is working to make the city a safer place for Americans and Iraqis, so when it comes to dismantling IEDs (improvised explosive devices) the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) crew is always on their game. But protecting the public isn't easy when there's no room for error, and every second spent dismantling a bomb is another second spent flirting with death. Now, as three fearless bomb technicians take on the most dangerous job in Baghdad, it's only a matter of time before one of them gets sent to "the hurt locker." Jeremy Renner, Guy Pearce, and Ralph Fiennes star
