Zero Dark Thirty (2012)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I watched this movie for an hour and a half, but it was nothing special, but let me look it all the way, but then in about 90 minutes of the film 4 or 5 Pakistani shoots into the main role of the film, they fired God knows how many bullets from a distance of barely 2- 3 meters, while she sits in the car and does not move and does not hit her once, nothing, I could not stand it anymore and I turned off the TV right away, it's amazing that 90% of such films are made using the same pattern, American soldiers, agents, cops are presented as the most capable in the history of the world, and their opponents are incompetent, stupid, they look like they do not even know their name, what day is it or a month or a year, can not steal a candy from a baby,i mean WTF...

I love this film, I can't remember how many times I've already seen it. I love Maya, the lead character of this film, based on a true CIA operative whose job is to locate UBL ( Usama Bin Laden).It took years and years of looking for the "proverbial needle in the haystack", and yet her conviction and determination, along with her colleagues, never waned on finding the the most wanted man on earth.Until she finally found the man and nobody believed her.

I enjoyed how it started out with not telling us much about whats known about him and instead we slowly gather the info alongside the main character. So it feels kinda satisfying at the end of the movie when they eventually complete the mission.It does a very good job with building up the story and connecting it to the final event which is a really cool home operation.A good depiction of the real events that led to the killing of Usama Bin Laden.

I had a feeling this movie may be be overrated because of what it is about, but maybe such a high rating and metascore could mean that its a good time nonetheless. i hoped for something more to it than just depiction of events. I was wrong. This movie is not a good time at all. It is just boring and it does not make you care for characters. Did not buy Jessica's character. Imagine going to this movie without knowing what 9/11 is, there would literally be no reason to watch till the end.
