Catch him when you can

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2013)

Zero Dark Thirty follows the story of the team of people trying to track down Osama Bin Laden after the September 11 attacks. This compelling story shows the grisly side in the early days of the war, which has been widely put out in the press if it's right or wrong to do these acts to find out necessary information to stop further attacks. The film to me felt as if it asked the questions of what is right and wrong without putting its self as an anti-war film or 24 like where you should be able to do anything if it will protect your country no matter the moral consequences. At the heart of this film is an outstanding performance from Jessica Chastain who has been deservedly getting award admiration for her role but I found Jason Clarkes performance to be the standout subtly showing the toils his actions are having on him. I highly recommend this film to watch whatever your opinions on the war on terror as you will feel motivated to discuss them with fellow viewers and at the same time have a good film to watch.
