Review of Zero Dark Thirty (2012) by Aakash G — 13 Mar 2015
Dan - Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim...(then roughly translates) Allah rewards those that strive and fight over those that sit behind a desk.
Dark/edgy/tense/disturbing/must-watch is how I would describe it in one word(though "must watch" ain't one word).....
The movie is based on the 10-year manhunt for osama bin laden by the US CIA after the tragic 9/11 attack that finally came to an end after Operation Neptune Spear...the movie revolves around a lone wolf CIA agent,MAYA who sticks to her conviction that bin Laden is not in a cave in Afghanistan, hunched over a kidney dialysis machine, but is likely living in relatively open sight and how the Maya faction makes the Maya non-believers to believe in her conviction based on her own field research because had she been wrong,Mr.Barack Obama would had been quite embarrassed and in deep trouble trying to explain why he invaded his own ally country,Pakistan, with his team of SEALS without the pak govt's consent...eventually,the whole world did saw on 2nd May,2011 that Maya and the US govt was indeed correct (Y).
The depiction of events might not be 100% correct but they are kind of relatable indeed :).
