That's a cost to be paid by the victor as well as the vanquished.
Worthy of 4 out of 5 stars. Justice prevailed and sometimes there's a cost to be pus by the the victor as well as the vanquished as this movie demonstrates.
a story worth the telling. detractors just want to maintain their eyes wide shut. far better than the mediocre 'oscar winning' Hurt Locker by the same director. it's not a 'glorified action' flick, but an intriguing inside look into the frustrations/thinking of how operatives detect 'evidence' that led to taking down UBL. excellent movie. well worth to see.
A well played out script of an account that we have to know is really an approved piece of good old USA propaganda. We know the USA arranged taking down the Infamos Twin Towers, we know we have no idea how true story is.
4 1/2 stars. Wonderful procedural with Jessica Chastain's performance knocking it out of the park. It is not a movie for everyone (i.e. torture scenes are tough to watch)as it is long and "talky" but it is worth it for the ending. The raid in Abbotbad is not romanticized and is carried out with surgical precision, like a tactical team would. Well done. P.S. The reviewer who said Jessica Chastain had a hollywood hairdo...seriously, glasses for you!
I wouldn’t pay to see this movie, and you couldn’t pay me to see this movie. Another American movie over glorifying a situation that that on based on the idea and not straight truth and fact of how everything happened. Just a way of trying to make another $.
Chastain was great in the film, as was Jason Clarke. A good movie and smart choices by the writer and director in picking certain evetns over others. I bet a movie about all the actions the US did to find Bin Laden would have been 24 hrs long.
This movie is purely factual and with 'leaked' info. If you have watched Argo you know how the system works in operations like this one. It was a little rushed for movie but could have been done a little better.
forget the hype, at best a mediocre movie. Lousy sound, at times tough to follow, would not recommend. Oftentimes I wonder if I am at the same movie that the critics have seen
After seeing this movie today I understand why Jessica won the Golden Globe. Outstanding film that kept me pasted to the screen throughout. Anyone who thinks this is fake is clearly not informed as to what actually happened. Great Film!!
