Zero Oscar Worthiness

Rating: 5/10 (21 March 2013)

First off this is a Hollywood movie and not something you should count as a history lesson. Folks are thinking that it is true because there was some "discontent" with our government over some scenes--but those were the scenes that were showing the CIA torturing suspects. In this liberal society, God forbid Americans know that you have to become dark to fight evil. To the movie: it is extremely long and boring. This movie is as dull as K-19. It lacks the tension and suspense that a movie of this "supposed" quality needed. Compare it to Argo and you will see a third rate movie when shown side-by-side with Ben Affleck's film. The direction is slow and "yawn" as much as it was with her previous films. The acting is decent, but there is not one single performance that would be an Oscar nominated performance. I still remember the article that questioned how this movie was given an Oscar nomination when it was still in the editing process--but like it's false claims to "real" it purchased its "false" claim to an Oscar.
