Zero Dark Thirty (2012)
The movie by far does not deserve the negativity it gets in the reviews here. Story of the hunt should be a TV-series.
Everything has been said probably in the comments. The movie by far does not deserve the negativity it gets in the reviews here. The problem of the story of "the hunt for Bin Laden" is really that it was such a long road. I'd say a TV-series will come of this sooner or later. There's so much to tell in this decade long hunt.
Anyways, indeed the plot of the movie was not its strongest part. The inclusion of the London bombings wasn't necessary to make the point, we all know that anyways. The Madrid ones were left out, so it makes it hard to understand some of the plot choices. Leaving out some unnecessary details might have given some screen time to develop more character-depth/background.
But all in all I rate the movie 8 out of 10, despite some of its identified weaknesses. It has suspense, action and drama, and the acting was good. The closing scenes were amazing.
