Zero Dark Thirty (2012)
Directed by Kathryn
Bigelow this film based on real event stars Jessica Chastain, Jason
Clarke, Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Ehle. Over a 10 year period a CIA
officer attempts to hunt down Osama Bin Laden eventually leading to
his death.
It will take a long
time before we truly know how accurate this film is, as it comes so
soon after the classified events I suspect it is unlikely we get the
whole truth and Hollywood does like to contribute the actions of many
to one character in films like this. All that being said this is a
fairly clinically told story that focuses on the details rather than
wandering into fantasy land which is exactly the right tack to take.
Maybe there are times when the film could have looked in more depth
at the issues surrounding the methods used, such as torture but
otherwise this is a really well made film.
4/5
