Interesting movie, yes. Good Movie, well that depends.

Rating: 4/10 (3 August 2013)

I never got around to watching this movie when it got released. But after a few friends were discussing it I thought I'd catch up. The reviews here for this movie seem largely polarized. Considering the subject matter, I guess it is quite understandable.
I found it interesting. Not because of the events, because we all know the story. But because how it was presented. Basically as one woman's crusade or jihad (the word you use may depend on your religion or language), to find Osama Bin Laden. Why she was so driven was never explained. Nothing comes to mind except that making it a 'her against the world' story adds a bit of excitement to make up for the lacking plot. But I found it interesting because I thought it was more telling of how Americans would be willing to come to terms with everything that has been happening since September 2001.
As a documentary, it obviously wasn't entirely factual. As a movie, it didn't really work too well either, as in it was quite obvious when something big was going to happen, like an explosion or a key character being killed. It wasn't as bad as having a precursor as "hey guys, this is my last gig. After this last mission I'm going home to marry my girl/guy" but it was close. Also, the music designed to build up suspense when you know nothing is going to happen (if you've read/seen the news of the major events covered in the movie.)
So, should you watch this movie?
Well, if you're someone George Bush would describe as a patriot, then definitely do watch it. (You probably already have though, and have already rated it 10 out of 10).
Or, if you're from a country where there's been a lot of American Military work, then you probably should give it a wide berth.
Everyone else, if you're after an entertaining or enjoyable movie, you should probably leave it. Otherwise give it a go, but don't be taken by the "based on true events" message at the beginning. Expect a lot of Hollywood in it.
I gave it 4 out of 10 because it was interesting, but not really engaging, and it was also at times it was challenging my ability suspend my disbelief a little too much considering the "based on true events" message.
