Kathryn Bigelow does it for me again. She manages to make the best movies I have seen. However, following up to The Hurt Locker, she re-teams up with screenwriter and producing partner Mark Boal, and they have made practically the most intense war film I have seen.

Like The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty is one of those few movies where it isn't all guns-ablazing, testosterone filled action. It's smart. It manages to stay focused on the subject, even if we get certain side moments.

Fueled by an intense, yet fragile Jessica Chastain, this is one of the few movies where your eyes are practically glued to the screen. This is a way of saying I couldn't bring myself to take my eyes off the movie while it was playing.

Zero Dark Thirty has easily made it into my top favorites list.
