Poorly Portrayed by the TV Trailer

Rating: 5/10 (18 January 2013)

This is not an action movie. The trailer that you saw on TV was so deceiving that I actually checked my ticket in the theater just to make sure I was in the correct movie. Think office scenes, meetings, and one action scene that you have already seen in the trailer. This is almost as bad as Drive with Ryan Gosling. If you have seen Drive, go back and watch the official TV trailer. You'll basically see every single action scene throughout the entire movie, then all of the slow parts will be cut out. I'm not saying that Zero Dark is a bad movie, I'm simply saying that it should not have been represented by the trailer as it was. They made it look like an action movie about the team that took out Bin Laden, and they literally only have a few minutes about them in there. Even in the trailer that I just saw before writing this review on this page, they show the team prepping to go on the mission. Simply very poor representation of the movie that you are about to see.
