Many things wrong, nonetheless adequately entertaining

Rating: 5/10 (8 March 2016)

This movie is about the hunt for Osama bin Laden. It tells the official story adequately, though it overlays the story with trite political correctness. We have learned from Seymour Hersh that the official story probably is a lie, but that was not known when the movie was made.
There are two major problems with the movie. First, it is much too long. It should be 30 or even 45 minutes shorter. It drags a lot. Second, the heroine is not believable. She is recruited into the CIA out of high school (ridiculous right there) and spends the next 10 years of her career trying to track bin Laden. She finds him! She, her limited range of experience, knows better than everyone else who is telling the truth and who isn't and what leads to follow. She has so much pluck that she yells at her superiors and gets away with it. Everyone is in awe of her. Come on. What's with Hollywood? The script writers seem to be lost in the 1960s mindset that young people are smarter, more knowledgeable, and wiser than their elders. They are the only ones who really know what is going on. And of course nowadays they often are women. At least they didn't make this one Hispanic (there are no other ethnic groups in the US, you know).
Despite the foregoing criticisms and others well explained by many negative reviewers, I found the show engaging and enjoyed watching it. The general story of how the CIA found bin Laden is interesting. Though it's not fully accurate (see Seymour Hersh, London Review of Books, 21 May 2015, for an alternate account with much supporting evidence), it is accurate enough to be interesting.
