This was an incredible movie! As an 0311 in the US Marine Corps during 2001-2003 this has been the first movie that makes me wish I could be in that room right along Jason Clarke and Jessica Chastain. The movie grabbed me right from the start and the two actors performances were spectacular.

Loved the movie. The details of the movie, especially the assault of Bin Laden's compound, were very close to the actual accounts that I have read over the last 20 months or so. Great movie. A MUST SEE for sure.

Telling a nearly three-hour story with an ending everyone knows, Bigelow and Boal have managed to craft one of the most intense and intellectually challenging films of the year. Full Review

Zero Dark Thirty makes you feel every step of Maya's journey, but it's her impressive achievement and that of the film itself that we're left contemplating, not her humanity - a stunningly well-realized whole with few soft spots to latch onto. Full Review

A sweeping and magnificent work of cinematic craft, by far the best film of Bigelow's career. Full Review

By and large, Zero Dark Thirty dispenses with sentimentality and speculation, portraying the final mission not with triumphalist zeal or rank emotionalism but with a reserved, even mournful sense of ambivalence. Full Review

Was the death of Osama bin Laden worth the moral price, the compromised ideals? The filmmakers could hardly avoid raising those questions, but they pointedly leave them for the audience to answer. This is not a triumphant story in their telling, but it is one uncommonly freighted with the weight of history. Full Review
