Dark, brooding and extremely intelligent. A film about people who do monstrous things on both sides. How truthful it is I do not know what it is a unique beautifully crafted, moving, and quite fascinating picture.That personally I found to be riveting throughout.

So you haven't seen it, Nine99? Then that's just plain idiotic.Jashezilla
Pulls you in right from the get-go, starts to lose you about half-way through but then draws you in again by introducing Chris Pratt and Joel Edgerton's characters at the half-way mark. Great war film, and a sleek thriller but even more than that, lets you see and experience the measure's the U.S had to take and the losses that they had to go through.Siskoid
Zero Dark Thirty came under fire for not representing the exact details of the assassination of Bin Laden (man, I'm gonna have that Connor4Real song in my head all day now), for apparently glorifying torture, and for being pro-American propaganda. I don't think those are fair criticisms as 1) "based on" movies aren't documentaries; 2) in the case of the key piece of evidence, we don't see the torture or know how it was vetted; and 3) the Americans are neither completely heroes or villains in this. Leaving any political commentary aside, the film is the kind of procedural spy thriller I tend to enjoy, with a dark and confusing action piece serving as the third act, somewhat appropriate yet more unclear than ambiguous from my perspective. Most people tend to think the first two acts are slow and boring, and the third is terrific; I felt the opposite. I've always felt a certain ambivalence towards Jessica Chastain's performances, and while this is probably her best performance, I've not shaken the feeling completely here. In the end, Zero Dark Thirty is a well-made real-world thriller, but despite the important historical story it tells (just how important - or not - perhaps has yet to be determined), I somehow doubt it will be part of the canon of "great films" for long. Already, the cinematic details are slipping away from me...Dardan
Frontline PBS talked with experts about whether ZDT is propaganda for the CIA. It is.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brVHpirFwec

One of the best movies of 2012.Jessica Chastain delivers a great performance.
Amazing movie with a really intense ending.

I wasn't really moved by this film, and was somewhat disappointed. It never really went anywhere, but I guess that was the point also... And I love Jessica Chastain, but wasn't in love with her performance. She had some amazing scenes but I think Jennifer Lawrence definitely should beat her for best actress. All I really enjoyed was the raid and the last scene of her crying. The other stuff just didn't stick.Ozmodias
I like it very much!!! It has some dark and heavy atmosphere. But it is not one of the good spy movies.kanoba
Meh. Fails to engage.frankqb
A dry, fact-based story, but also a riveting story with brilliant cinematography and tense action sequences. Better than "The Hurt Locker" (which felt hokey and clichéd), with great acting. The downside is that the fact-based approach makes for actors to be dispensable.3.5 stars out of 4.

Nah, I don't think she's overrated.

if jessica chastain was a band she'd be radioheadClassicLady
Good movie. Good cinematography. I have to believe there was a lot more rejoicing in the helicopter when they were bringing UBL's body back. You know our boys were pleased with the outcome even if it would be tactless and undiplomatic to show that to the world.Showing items 16 – 30 of 45
