Review of Zero Dark Thirty (2012) by Ethan P — 12 Dec 2015
This dramatized hunt for Bin Laden is detailed and well acted, but to me it felt more like a documentary than a film. It was too impersonal with it's characters and it didn't develop the villain, Bin Laden, almost at all.
Maya, the woman this movie is centered upon, does give an interesting performance as she transforms from a gentle and frightened agent into a bloodthirsty hunter, but you still feel like you don't know her by the end.
The movie spends too much time hunting Bin Laden and too little time making its characters seem human instead of mindless robots questioning detainees and searching through paper's for an enemy we don't even get to know in the movie.
