Why bother with the facts???

Rating: 4/10 (18 January 2013)

If you are going to this movie and have no idea of the actual events and like over the top heroin flicks, then you may enjoy this movie. It's a shame Bigelow was allowed to add the obligatory 'the events of this movie are based on true event...." message prior to the movie starting. While there is some basis of fact at times, the omissions, lies and distortions are so plentiful that it really does a disservice to all involved.
Bigelow is a hack and after watching the over-rated piece of garbage 'Hurt Locker' I will never waste my time and money on any other movie she has anything to do with.
At times, the scenes are downright laughable. Again, one would have to know the real events and history to have a baseline for comparison so if you want to go in blissfully ignorant then you may like the movie. otherwise, stay away.
Oh, and if you did care to learn what happened and who was really responsible for finding UBL then read 2 books, Manhunt: The 10 year search for Bin Laden and The Black Banners: Inside Story of 9/11 and the War against al-Qaeda.
Now, if someone could make a good movie and tell the real facts THAT I'd watch.
