Review of Zero Dark Thirty (2012) by Jake M — 18 Apr 2016

Lets be honest here, there have been many people that state that Zero Dark Thirty was totally fake. However though the film may or may not be 100% realistic Zero Dark Thirty is still an excellent film, the film revolves around the events after 9/11 and the struggles it took to hunt Osama Bin Laden.

Kathryn Bigelow is a great director and with Zero Dark Thirty she crafts he best film yet, I feel Bigelow has found what types of movies she's best at which are her war movies and for those of you who don't know she made The Hurt Locker (2009) and that was another great film.

Zero Dark Thirty also has a terrific cast, personally in my opinion I felt Jessica Chastain's performance as Maya was the best performance in this dil I felt Chastain totally stole the show, which is amazing do to the fact that the movies she was in prior to this one were films such as The Help (2011) and The Tree of Life (2011).

However though I loved Zero Dark Thirty I thought Argo (2012) was a much better political thriller, but thats just me also if you want an action film this is NOT a film for you but if you want to see an excellent political drama and are fine with little to no action than I recommend Zero Dark Thirty for you.
