A Riveting Film!

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2013)

Kathryn Bigelow's 'Zero Dark Thirty' is A Riveting Film! A Tense, Nail-Biting & Disturbing true-story of the greatest manhunt for the world's most dangerous man. Its an unforgettable film in all respects.
'Zero Dark Thirty' chronicles the decade-long hunt for Al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden after the September 2001 attacks, and his death at the hands of the Navy S.E.A.L. Team 6 in May 2011.
'Zero Dark Thirty' is about patriots. Its also about courage & payback. Mark Boal's Screenplay is hard-hitting, disturbing & ferocious. There is not a single dull moment in the narrative. Bigelow's Direction is par-excellence. She has outdone herself with this historical-drama. Greig Fraser's Cinematography is realistic. Editing is perfect. Art Design is fabulous.
Performance-Wise: Jessica Chastain delivers a sincere performance. Chastain has emerged into a very fine performer, proving her mettle with every film. Jason Clarke is terrific, he stands on his own. Jennifer Ehle, Mark Strong & Kyle Chandler are highly effective. Joel Edgerton does well. James Gandolfini is fantastic in a brief role.
On the whole, 'Zero Dark Thirty' is a must see.
