Probably should have been a television special not a 2hr, 40min movie.

Rating: 4/10 (1 July 2014)

I understand why this movie was made and I also understand why many people wanted to love this movie but unfortunately it proves to be a disappointment. Everything up until the moment they actually capture Bin Laden is extremely dull and not really necessary. When you really think about it, it took 10 years to track him down and real life is not always as interesting as the movies. I imagine tracking down Bin Laden would have been boring with time delays, dead ends, misinformation and just generally painful and that's what shows in Zero Dark Thirty.
Do civilians really have the right or need to know what goes on when the government does their job to bring down terrorist scum. Maybe not. A television special probably would have been sufficient to inform the world of the circumstances following the take down of Bin Laden not a 2hr, 40min movie. If you can't handle the full movie fast forward to when they infiltrate the compound he was hiding in. You won't miss anything and you will still get the satisfaction of seeing how everything played out.
