Interesting from the point of view of the investigative work that went into discovering bin Laden’s location. This work took 10 years but in the meantime terrible interrogation techniques and torture were used with little result. An…

Very slow paced movie....had to watch it over two nights to avoid boredom. The Seals assault seemed to be very slow as well. They better move much faster than that!

An excellent move that got many awards along with 5 nominations for 5 Academy Awards. I read a lot about this operation after it happened and the movie was right on. As far as being slow, it showed the steps and process that was necessary…

This tale of the War on Terror follows an American intelligence agent (Jessica Chastain) as she pursues clues to the location of Osama bin Laden. Although the story ends with the success of his execution by a SeAL team raid, neither…

I wonder how factual the movie was?

A tiresome movie, directed by somebody who has given up trying to depict life and will only go for cheap effects--the nonsensical scrawling on a glass door by Chastain, trying to awake some interest in finding Bin Laden, among many others.…

Amazing that no matter how many times you watch Zero Dark Thirty, the final half hour remains gripping. And speaking of amazing, how can Jessica Chastain so convincingly interpret both Celia Foote in The Help and Maya here? Astonishing…

To:loonylovesgood, several of his adult sons are Terrorists as well. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. For those on here criticizing Trump for the so called torture methods the prior administration didn’t want to use, I’d rather…

Really good film. Gripping and intense. The cast is great in this one.

A great film that somewhat follows the book "Manhunt" written by Peter Bergen. It includes a suggestion that torturing a prisoner led to the finding of Osama bin Laden (a theory believed by some in the CIA). This theory is criticized by…

Basically the story of a driven CIA agent determined to exterminate bin Laden. Her character was very cold and showed little humanity. I am not a fan of war films and the torture scenes and the children crying when the compound is invaded…

I thought this was an engaging and exciting film, but thought I'd mention, I lived next door to and became friends with an Army interrogator of captured terrorists (also a woman), and she said the inaccuracies in this drove her bonkers. So…

Christ, I feel like I'm in the Soviet Union watching a communist propaganda film when I viewed this piece of garbage. I'm not a mindless automaton who takes in CIA propaganda without a thought in my head- neither should you.

I found this film to be quite dark and depressing. Also, the violence and torture are overly graphic and disturbing. I do not recommend this film for any child under the age of 18. Also, recent intelligence revelations put the…

Always appreciate you keeping it real, StarGladiator. I think ZERO DARK THIRTY is actually a subtly effective indictment of the U.S. national security state. At least that is how I interpreted it. Take the final scene of the movie. Maya…

Blagh. Why bother?

Based on recent interviews with an author and someone who was present when Bin Laden was shot (and may very well have fired the fatal shots), this film's account of the raid on the Bin Laden compound is entirely accurate. I was originally…

So so. The impression I got is the plot as shown is part reality, part fiction, and part fairy tale. It's hard to know for sure, but the sequence of events, the behavior of the characters, the plot is difficult to believe. The…

***Jun 24, 2013 comments lost but recovered recently by Biblio*** Well deserved phrase on the DVD box -- The Greatest Manhunt in History. It stands alone as a wonderful political thriller and as good as Argo that it competed with for best…

A film like "United 93" was also propaganda and absurdly unbelievable, but at the very least it was not as sick and sadistic as this film. A lot of people have criticized this film for its depiction of torture, questionable facts and…

This is awesome. But see the world hasn't changed their attitude toward women. They just wouldn't listen to her. I have been in that position several times. Worked many a man's job and always had to prove myself, had to be better than them.

Zero Dark Thirty is a movie based on a true story of the United States Government searching for Taliban leader Osama Bin Laden. The Zero Dark Thirty plot was exciting to follow the investigators get closer and closer on the hunt Osama Bin…

A little slow in some parts, and tough to watch. But the action picked up near the end. Whatever happened to all of Osama's children and grandchildren?
