I enjoyed how it started out with not telling us much about whats known about him and instead we slowly gather the info alongside the main character. So it feels kinda satisfying at the end of the movie when they eventually complete the mission.It does a very good job with building up the story and connecting it to the final event which is a really cool home operation.A good depiction of the real events that led to the killing of Usama Bin Laden.
This is the racist movie ever. this movie shows how USA goverment deals with other people. It deals with them as slaves or childeren. Seeing the movie was so bad, it show the brutality of dealing with others!
As someone who was working (and lived) in lower Manhattan, I have a different viewpoint for this film, just as all people who were living in NYC do when the WTC was destroyed. Everything was much more palpable. As thousands of other people did, I lost a very close friend (an FDNY Captain) who was inside Tower 1. As far as the film goes, I have no thoughts as far as morality and torture issues are depicted. We all know anything just about anything (within reason) would be done to capture and/or kill bin Laden. I do care about the quality of the film goes, as I am a very big fan of Kathryn Bigelow and Jessica Chastain. Unfortunately, I got very tired of seeing Maya write down how many days had gone by, over and over, ad infinitum. I believe many people were miscast. Also, for some reason I cannot really point to, the film just didn't do much for me. Perhaps I was sick of hearing about it., having lived through so much of it, so close to my heart.Other than what I already mentioned, what I remember the most is the burnt plastic smell which permeated lower Manhattan for weeks, and numerous other seemingly innocuous things that only residents who were there can relate to.BTW, bin Laden was killed on my birthday.
An interesting movie with some good scenes, but isn't too spectacular. Sicario is pretty much just the better version of this movie.
