The boring hunt for Bin Laden

Rating: 2/10 (29 December 2016)

With someone being tortured every five minutes in the first half an hour, I was amazed at just how dull this film was. An hour in, I suggested that we turn it off, but the person I was watching it with wondered if it got any better - after all, we'd both heard good things about it.
Unfortunately, the film really didn't improve and she played with her phone during its entirety, whereas I was left to stare out the window, go to the toilet, make tea and wonder what I'd cook for dinner.
Yes, boring just about sums this mess up.
Apparently, the film is about the hunt for bin Laden and the "war on terror", but as the CIA go about kidnapping, torturing, imprisoning people for life without trial and simply executing suspects, I was left more curious as to just who the real terrorists were. After all, don't terrorists terrorise?
Then again, the way this film terrorises through boredom, I'd have to question if everyone involved in its making isn't also a damn terrorist!
So, to nutshell: some ginger bird flies around the globe, talks to people, has a couple of hissy fits, comes to the conclusion that all Arabs look alike - even to other Arabs - and that, by operating on false assumptions, they'd missed their man. A crack team of elite killers is then flown into Pakistan, Osama meets fate and the film ends.
Sh*t wrapped up in a shiny Hollywood box. If it wasn't for the nice camera work, I'd have given this a 1.
Do NOT believe the hype. AVOID.
