A typical Awesome American thriller !

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2020)

If you are a fan of movies like Argo, Hurt Locker, 13 Hours, Black Hawk Down or Sicario, this movie is definitely not the one to be missed.
While one may argue whether or not this movie is close to the truth, this movie surely doesn't disappoint as a film on its own even if the entire narrative is fictionalized. The background score adds power to the seriousness and covertness to the entire operation. The direction by Kathryn Bigelow is simply splendid, just like her previous academy award-winning venture 'Hurt Locker'. Jessica Chastain carries out the role of the CIA operative with the right mix of subtleness and conviction to nail her target, an enemy who has been elusive to the world for more than a decade. The climax operation in the dark was the high point of the entire buildup and the suspense doesn't disappoint even a bit even when one is aware of the eventual end.
A highly recommended movie as a patient-watch, with some pieces of good action here and there but brilliant cinematography & direction all throughout the film.
