not technically great either

Rating: 1/10 (19 January 2013)

Apart from what others have rightly pointed, i.e. the movies fails utterly in raising any meaningful questions, it is technically weak and clearly looks like apart from the actual 'operation', no research or homework was done. Anecdotal examples..women in conservative arab / pushtoon cultures NEVER answer the door, esp if there is a man (scene during polio campaign). A pushto speaking seal member repeatedly warns curious neighbours on mega phone, they keep ignoring him but the moment he speaks in English they stop dead in their tracks. There is not the slightest hint about the drone program in the whole movie..the biggest weapon used by US against al-qaeda throughout the 10 years. No mentions of the hundreds of bounty hunters on the hunt for OBL in Pakistan and afghanistan. The most famous of whom got exposed a few weaks befoe the OBL raid and resulted in CIA-ISI stand off... among other such incidents. No mention of the polio campaign doctor who gave positive OBL ID to CIA.
The movie also unintelligently makes CIA look like a bunch of fools, who would do not have the capability or will to capture/ kill OBL without the undying persuasive efforts of the god-send poker-faced agent Maya. You would think that a CIA top dog is capable of doing better than e.g. naively suggesting mounting cameras on trees near the compound..or asking the main agent on case questions like 'how long have u been with CIA...what have u done for us'.
The movie is a failure on so many grounds, it is clear it was meant for the cheering US crowds happy to see the terrorists humiliated and 9/11 vindicated.
