Review of Zero Dark Thirty (2012) by Tyler S — 21 Feb 2016
A pretty damn good film chronicling the 11 year man hunt for Osama Bin Laden.
I was going to go a half star lower because something was a little off for me, but Jessica Chastain was absolutely fantastic as the CIA agent heading the search for Osama Bin Laden.
She was tough, precise, and worked extremely hard at her craft as her performance was very believable.
I loved how the movie built and built but I feel due to the long time frame it's impossible to include all the things you should. The movie skipped a lot of years which really had to be done to fit in the movie.
I am not a big fan of these types of films, but the acting was pretty damn good here and it really carried the movie. It felt like a real operation I was watching, and there were good moments. I thought it would be a little bit more intense, however it did have its moments.
A solid film, on a tense subject, built on the foundation of solid acting.
When you know how a movie is going to end, it better be damn good.
This despite its flaws was damn good.
