Zero Dark Thirty

Zero Dark Thirty (PG-13) 2011


Directed by Kathryn Bigelow


Starring:  Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Ehle, Mark Strong, Kyle Chandler, Édgar Ramírez, James Gandolfini, Chris Pratt, Reda Kateb, Scott Adkins and Taylor Kinney


Here We Go:  This is based on the known "facts" surrounding the hunt for Osama Bin Laden so anyone who will enjoy this movie probably already knows the plot.  That being said, the movie is still very well done and, despite knowing the eventual climax, the director still manages to build up a sense of anticipation as you wait for the final operation to be carried out successfully.  It's a long movie that doesn't seem long and the production team paid just enough attention to detail for it to seem realistic without bogging down viewers with details that may have made the movie too long and unwatchable.  Jessica Chastain and Jason Clarke were particularly well cast and both gave excellent performances.  


Bottom Line:  Its not for everyone but we suggest you watch it!
