Please Check Your Baggage

Rating: 5/10 (7 August 2013)

A Movie so Mired in Political Thought and recent ongoing Real-Life Warfare, that Viewers and Reviewers have Forgotten what this is...a Movie.
Of course, there must be a certain amount of Baggage brought along with any Film, but the Weight of this Cargo is Emotionally very Heavy. Most likely, because of the Time Frame. After all, this just happened.
True, it took some Ten Years for the Events in the Movie to unfold, that is Precisely why the Catharsis of getting Bin Laden is still Resonating Strongly to this day. The Movie may have been made too soon.
But it was made and the Audience and Critical Reception has been Universal in its Praise and Admiration. It might be a False Positive. As a Movie this is Flat, Uninspiring, Dull, Shallow, Thin, and Worst of all, Void of any Entertainment value (except the previously mentioned cathartic OOH-RAH). Chalk one up for the Good Guys.
It is a Confusing Story (by nature) with Indistinguishable Foreign Names spoken in Rapid Heavy Accents, piled on top of Disconnecting Extreme Events, Peppered here and there to keep the Audience Awake. Let's face it, this Stuff can be really Boring. Especially if it is Handled in such a Dry and Uninteresting Style.
The Worst Scene and the most Cringe Inducing is the Infiltration on the CIA Black Site by the supposedly Friendly Witness.
This is so Telegraphed and Drained of Suspense that when the Bomb goes off it Feels like a Dud. Bomb and Dud are really Not Descriptive of this Film. But Overrated sure is.
