Review of Zero Dark Thirty (2012) by Matt L — 24 Sep 2013
It's certainly an important film to watch because of its bared content. I'm still discussing with myself whether I believe the events to be true or if the entire script was a clever way to humbly beat the American chest.
Regardless, the film is incredibly well done. There were several prominent actors that I would have preferred not been cast, simply for the sake of the realism you get with non-Hollywood faces, however, such choices certainly don't detract from an impeccably laid out plot. I could have done without several scene choices for the sake of cutting screen time down to less that 2hrs 30 mins.
Chastain did a fantastic job, as did all of the portrayals. There is a striking difference between the Schwarzenegger/Willis action flicks and the responsibly efficient military movie that was Oscar worthy in 2012.
