Uneventful 95% of the Time

Rating: 5/10 (2 May 2013)

I'll try to make this short and sweet. The beginning of the movie did had me interested with the interrogating scene. When this same interrogation was going on 15 minutes later I was not impressed. No wonder this movie is 2.5 hours long; they drag on every scene just long enough so you don't say "screw it" and turn off the movie altogether. For the next 2 hours I silently begged to see a scene with some real action. The director does a great job of teasing you with an odd explosion here and there, a few bullets to change it up, but nothing that gets your heart pumping.
Now with all that said, you really do feel the desire that Maya has to catch Bin Laden throughout the entire film; especially after her newly found friend dies in a suicide bombing. The other characters just seem to be "there" and you never really develop interest for them.
The last half hour or so of the movie is what I watched this movie for: the reenactment of SEAL team 6 infiltrating Bin Laden's house and putting an end to his life. This part of the movie should have been a movie on its own because it was nothing like the previous 2 hours. It was action packed, exciting, nerve wrecking and it felt like you were there with SEAL team 6 taking the big guy out. Without this last segment I would have rated this movie a solid 3/10.
I would recommend this movie to others, but I would definitely forewarn them about the long delay until the real action starts.
