Underwhelming

Rating: 5/10 (13 April 2019)

While it's interesting to follow the story of how they got Bin Laden, Zero Dark Thirty is not that good as a movie. I understand that the cold narration of actual facts is a choice when dealing with historically important events and with some things that ask major moral questions. But, it seems that these days any movie depicting war or terrorism is shot in this gritty, clinical, uncritical style. And you know what, that's not a plus. It just seems that Hollywood is afraid to give any spin to their movies, if the matter is someway controversial. I'm bored by these movies, and this is just what ZDT is, although being well shot and produced: boring.
A praise for the action sequence at the end, that's good.
