Zero Dark Thirty



What I liked:

  • Jessica Chastain is great and carries the movie well.
  • Jason Clarke was fantastic.  We need to see more of him.
  • It also stars Reda Kateb, Kyle Chandler, Jennifer Ehle, Harold Perrineau, Mark Strong, Edgar Ramirez, Mark Duplass, James Gandolfini, Joel Edgerton, Chris Pratt, and Taylor Kinney.
  • Kathryn Bigelow does an excellent job directing.
  • True or not, it is a fascinating story. 
  • Makes you think that there is a lot more truth to Homeland.
  • The last 30 minutes are really intense.  

What I didn't like:
  • How did Clarke not get nominated for Best Supporting Actor?
  • It could be seen as a form of propaganda.
  • The first hour and a half are kind of slow but the background is interesting.

Grade: A-
