Phenomenal film about the CIA's hunt for 9-11 mastermind Bin Laden who murdered 3,000 innocent people in the World Trade Center attacks.
This movie is an absolute masterpiece. The way they depict the set of events and details that led to the discovery of Bin Laden's whereabouts is masterful, and the actors even turn in powerful performances to boot.
This could have been an all out action movie without any character development and without any details, but instead it turns in a few masterclass performances and takes you through some of the key players behind the scenes in the decisions that led up to the ultimate mission that hunted down and eventually killed the coward who hides in his room and gives orders to mentally ill jihadists to kill innocent people.
Should've won Best Picture, but they had just rewarded Bigelow for The Hurt LockerZero Dark Thirty is WAY better than the Hurt Locker and better than Argo. They should have waited and rewarded her for this masterpiece. -
