Director : Kathryn Bigelow
Running Time : 157 mins
CIA operative Maya (Chastain) is reassigned to the US embassy in Pakistan where she assists in the interrogation of potential terrorists and spends almost a decade trying to gain information that might lead to the location and capture of Osama bin Laden, the man thought by the USA as being the key player in the attacks on the World Trade Centre.
I’m surprised to say that this wasn’t too bad. Unlike most Hollywood movies that involve Americans fighting against terrorism, this isn’t exactly shown in a positive light. There are many scenes of unnecessary torture and mistreatment of those being questioned, and the team that goes in after bin Laden aren’t exactly careful about who they kill, considering their orders were to determine if bin Laden was there before doing anything. This leant a sense of realism to the movie, and even Chastain - who I’m not a big fan of - puts in a great performance.
