Slow & Boring This movie took way too long to set up. I think Jessica Chastain went to the Edward James Olmos (miami vice) school of acting. She was nominated for an academy award?? And this movie also was nominated?? Does H-wood have a thing for Bigelow and Chastain?The last 30 minutes are not worth the drudgery of the beginning of the movie. I had two people fall asleep and I almost did at times. If you want to see it for the story behind the capture (wink/nod) of OBL then waste 2 hours of your life, I know I did. @ BWilson I agree.

If you care ANYTHING for America's history then you have to watch this movie I don't get why people are saying this movie is boring. It's a drama movie for crying out loud. I was only 11 when this came out and I loved it. Is just sad that some of the adults who were alive when that happened hate this movie just make me sad.

Good Worth seeing. Some pretty graphic torture techniques shown but realistic in that sense I guess. Cool to know some behind the scenes situations behind the Bin Laden raid. Cool piece of recent history.
Kyle Donahue
An awesome movie and worth taking the time to watch! This was an awesome movie with some terrific sequences! The opening scene and credits take you back to 9/11/2001 with real audio footage from air traffic control, 911 calls, and a call by one man to his mother moments after the first attack. Throughout the movie there are several sequences of real news footage of attacks since 9/11 and it tells a really compelling story of the lengths the government went to to track and eliminate Osama Bin Ladin. Definitely worth watching.

Great Movie for Deep thinkers! No this movie is not action packed, its about how tedious and laborious the process was to catch Osama. Its about the sacrifice made and the dedication of someone who would not give up- or be told "no". Sorry to disappoint but its reality, the smothering bureaucracy that led up to history.

Very realistic Here's the deal. All you people sitting out there in your nice cozy home with your nice complacent lives need to wake up. Oh, it made me sad...whatever, the truth of the matter is that their are some incredibly evil people out there. As history has proved time and time again. The enemy that we fight today are raised to fight. Do you think they say that when they have an American hostage? Please don't hurt him it's making me sad. Hell no, they go and put the whole thing on the internet.

Great movie that is intense till very end I went into this movie preparing to hate it, but I was wrong, dead wrong. The movie is tightly written, masterfully directed and honestly Jessica Chastain should've won over Jennifer Lawrence. It is intense and had me sitting on the edge of my seat the whole way through even though I knew how it all ended. This movie is a great success artistically because even though we all know how it ends, it plays out like a Hitchcock thriller such as Rope with James Stewart. One of the best movies of the decade. Period
Good but lacks some stuff. This is a pretty typical spy movie. Shows you a good portion of the events that lead up to Bin Ladins death. However it is a pretty biased movie, doesn't show much of the big mistakes that were made by us. The plot was good, but could have been better. They focused on only a few key events that were not the most interesting. I think if they covered more with less detail it would have been better. Characters are well done and the acting is good. The cast was able to pull of a very believable character.
Solid & Surprising This movie tells a story about real events that is probably as honest and close to being accurate as can be considering that not all the details are public. Further the acting is very good and fits the movie well with barely anything feeling out of place. This is bolstered further that the political leanings are largely left out of the movie leaving it to stand on it's own two feet with it's quality unspoiled for better or worse by political values.
A pass. Bland and inaccurate on the accounts of a few sources, so it's useless as an informational movie. As a fictional story, the protagonist is one dimensional and fairly annoying. The length is padded with nonessential storytelling. Watch people at the mall instead- it would be far more entertaining and informative.
Sucks This should be pulled from Google play. Our country is proud they hunted they hunted someone down and killed them. They are also proud of the fact we illegally detained people in Guantanamo bay and tortured them. Real pyscho of a movie. Just proves to the rest of the world we are nothing more than bullies. Full of American propaganda and told from the republicans pov.
Jessica Chastains best, don't listen to the bad Many people went into this movie thinking it would be all action when clearly they didn't fully know what it was going to be. If you want tons of action go see Seal Team Six. This is a great movie with more to it than just action. Jessica Chastain plays the best role she has a ever done (in my opinion). If you want a movie with thought and talented actors watch this!
