If You Need A Synonym Of What You Believe What Happened, Watch 0 Dark 30

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2013)

The first half is boring, heavy on writing and full of torture as you might have heard. It is full of technicalities which might be pretty hard to perceive. But Jessica Chastain is mind-blowing and real in this pompous, predictable and easy thriller. The first half deals with more of details and is a precise stuff of how it all started since 9/11 to 2010.
Coming to the second half is where you move your head closer to the screen. Of what I have heard and watched over 2011 & 2012 in Reuters, BBC, TOI, NatGeo - if you add them up - you get ZDT. It is not action packed as it states but surely is a thriller. Music is typicality, and this is not much of a absolute 'The Hurt Locker' type film-making. Kathryn disappoints a lil bit because the astronomical expectations were not answered well.
The problem with ZDT is that you know what will happen and that oozes 50% of the fun of it. But, still the intricacy and accuracy of this movie (as they say) is worth appreciable. The remaining cast is par excellence and the people who worked as Seal team need a couple of claps.
What I liked about the movie is secrecy that they do not show the minutiae of how, why and when about the operation. One minute you see them in the Langley room/White House and the next second you see two "canaries." Second thing is the Quentin Tarantino type narration with titles for scene like "Human Error"! I felt it is pretty awesome.
Overall experience after watching ZDT is ridiculously average and non-zealous compared to the SEAL TEAM 6: The Raid On Osama bin Laden which released in the 2012 beginning by NatGeo or The Hurt Locker or any similar kinds. But it is recommendable, although I cannot guarantee the enjoyment. As cinema, ZDT fails down and under. But as a documentary of how things get done in certain field of high-tech operation, this is straight must-watch!
Bottom Line: If you haven't ANY idea about the OsamaBL raid (read or watched or operated, ha ha) go for it!
WATCH OUT FOR: Jessica Chastain!
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? 80% YES
