Zero Dark Thirty


For a decade, an elite team of intelligence and military operatives, working in secret across the globe, devoted themselves to a single goal: to find and eliminate Osama bin Laden.  Zero Dark Thirty reunites the team of director-producer Kathryn Bigelow and writer-producer Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker) for the story of history's greatest manhunt for the world's most dangerous man.

This movie was like one of those very intense episodes of Homeland.  There was a LOT of talky talky and political back and forth that led up to one of the most intense scenes I've ever seen.  When the elite squad actually went on their mission, I was pretty much sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time.  It just seemed so surreal.  It really showed/captured all the different emotions involved in this piece of history . . . . . . especially the main actresses face at the very end after it was all over and the pilot asking her what she would like to do now. 

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  This is exceptional writing, acting and directing.
