The slow pace of the film kills any chance it has of being watched again.

Rating: 6/10 (2 March 2013)

To be honest, I found it reasonably interesting, but that was coming from knowing the film is based on real events. If you made a fictional story about a manhunt in the same way that this movie was done, it would get slaughtered by the critics. The reality of the story gives it a certain gravitas which the film-making entirely tries to ruin.
We all get how long and drawn out a process it was to track down Bin Laden. But quite why they needed to show this in such a tedious manner is beyond me. Imagine if Titanic had been two hours of showing the process of building the ship then twenty minutes of it sinking. That's essentially what you get with ZDT. A lot of relatively dull spy drama followed by a twenty minute action sequence.
As to how accurate the events of the movie are in relation to actual events, I have no idea. But there was one scene, where a supposed Al-Qaeda traitor goes to a meeting at an airbase and is allowed to drive right up, inside the base, to the building where the meeting is. Whilst I was watching it, I couldn't believe that ever happened. Surely the better option was to have him transfer from his vehicle at the main gate to one of the base vehicles? Not to let him drive his car bomb right inside! If that really happened.... Jesus Christ! Words fail me! I just hope it was idiocy on the part of the film-makers.
Anyway, as I say, a lot of tedious spy drama. Not a lot of action. I'm not sure film was the best medium to tell this story with. You can't condense a ten-plus year manhunt down into two hours and make it remotely interesting. There is little along the way to break the monotony of watching people play Scooby Doo with the clues. Especially when the reason most people will watch the film is to see the events that took place inside Bin Laden's compound.
I know, the film was primarily about the 'hunt' for Bin Laden, not the final minutes of it, but really, most of the movie was about as much fun as watching someone else play Scrabble.
In short, not terribly entertaining and not particularly enlightening. I doubt anyone will be interested in watching it more than once.
Oh, and by the way, there is a very small cameo by John Barrowman at one point. I actually like him a lot, but his presence here, much like it does in the TV show, Arrow, completely destroys any sense of tension and menace. Here, he was barely on screen for thirty seconds, but that was more than enough. Fair actor, but he just tends to make you not take what you're watching seriously and in a movie such as this, he was a bad casting choice.
SUMMARY: A bit dull really which, considering the subject matter, is not what I was expecting.
