Katherine Bigelow gives another masterpiece.

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2014)

Just awesome, awesome.....wonderful I can say for this movie. Katherine is a great and a fearless director who is not afraid to tread the path less trodden. The story in the movie has been amazingly told, trying to keep it as real as possible. Giving a real life experience is always difficult to be told in a captivating manner but we have got to say that Katherine knows this art. Some other movies of this kind according to me are K-19 by Katherine and Zodiac and these both were box office failures in spite of being great movies, the reason was just obvious the movies intended to show the story in as realistic way as possible and may be audience didn't find it interesting. It disappoints me to see that Zero Dark Thirty didn't garner much box office success but it does not take the respect for the movie away from me. Also its length it has been made on a very modest budget and it no where seems show that, instead appears to be a top class movie from every screen shot. Great acting by all actors, great direction. Though the plot is difficult to understand in the middle because there are too many names the characters exchanging without telling much about them and the audience starts wondering here and there often. But then again I would say that you are not used to watching such movies. They are to be watched in a different manner and require a little bit more of concentration and focus, which is what I think the audience might have refused to put for close to 3 hours. It is just that movies of this genre are made very less. These movies have intense plots are dialog driven and have strong characterization and have a lot of sub plots also. But for the movie buffs I would recommend this as a must watch. If you watch it with a little respect for the director, the movie and the genre you will like the movie a lot and will begin to ultimately like this genre.
