Zero Dark Thirty

I'm gonna start my quick reviews:

4/4
Zero Dark Thirty opens with dialogue of those from 9/11. It causes you to recall that terrible day and sets up the movie perfectly. We realize how necessary and substantial getting bin Laden was.

Unlike the other "Navy SEAL" movie Act of Valor, ZDT isn't gun heavy. It's 1.5 hours of a women's determination and quest to get the greatest villain of all. That woman is Jessica Chastain and she succeeds with portraying the fierce, intense woman that we hear was actually involved. She shows us the struggle and hopeless feelings that were no doubt felt during the ten years of looking. It makes the end that more satisfying.

CONCLUSION:
Kathryn Bigelow has yet to fail with delivering a perfect score. She just understands what it takes to make a "true" war film that is intense, emotional and rewarding in its entirety.
