Appalling film

Rating: 1/10 (30 March 2013)

I wondered if after 1 and 1/2 hours when I wanted to get up and leave if I was missing the point. A film with such critical acclaim. I really wished i had walked out and reclaimed an hour of my life! Annoying/poor acting, boring plot. Tacit support of torture. One sided. Propaganda which backfires to anyone with a brain. Do yourself a favour and give it a wide birth. There are a number of reviews on IMDb which are far more articulate than mine in describing how poor this file is from its inaccuracies in context and history, it's acceptance of torture, poor acting and dreadful pace. It's at least an hour too long. There was a documentary shown in the uk which pointed out that the entire operation at the end was a joke. A helicopter tried to land in an enclosed space - when well known this would cause an accident. Trying to breach a door that was bricked up. The movie should have pointed out that the us spent over 10 years tracking down the most wanted man in the world only to be 50% sure it was him, and starting an operation with pathetic intelligence after studying a compound for over 100 days! Clearly propaganda supporting the amazing operation - which came close to disaster and which would have been much more interesting to point out
