A well made Hollywood propaganda

Rating: 4/10 (18 March 2013)

This is a well-directed movie and the last portion of the film is thrilling to watch.
Unfortunately, the story itself and how it is shown is purely a blatant propaganda for the CIA and US military, disguised as an entertainment. It is very much one-sided and completely justifies the cruelty and motives of the US war on terror.
The opening declaration that the movie is based on first-hand account of real events is also misleading and irresponsible.
As a two-edged sword, the movie is also a political and religious ammunition of those extremists who preach the gospel of hate. Hollywood movies are far-reaching and can easily sway the ignorant masses, as such a director of Bigelow's stature will be judged on a higher standard.
Of which, she failed miserably to live up to that standard.
