Zero Dark Thirty (2012)

This movie is a solid action, drama and thriller that has an element of suspense and mystery that will keep you glued to the screen to find out what happens next to the greatest man-hunt of CIA - finding Osama Bin Laden. Dramatizing the manhunt for the "world's dangerous man" wasn't that easy as it has been criticize the by the public, politics and alleged controversies that surrounds the real-life story.


Though, there are moments in the movie that deems to be boring because of its long sequences of actions, I can't help but notice, one of the most notable acting performance by Jessica Chastain's role as a CIA lead in the manhunt. She delivered the role and act effortlessly that earned her a 2012 Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Chastain’ superb performance and act bring an ingredient to complete it for a critical acclaim film.  I hope Chastain does future movies with critically acclaimed acting like this one. I especially like her last scene shot in the movie where she cried silently as she goes home to US.  Overall, satisfying action and thriller war film.

Going Popcorn Review: 3.5/5 Popcorn
