Director : Kathryn
Bigelow
My Rating :
4/5
Wow!
The chase
of Osama-bin-laden…
I was very curious
to know how it all happened…why it took soo soo long to locate him…… by what
means they could finally do it ….had been wanting to read the book “manhunt”
but somehow delayed it.... finally this is the movie to appease my desire….after
the film was announced, I somehow knew even before watching the movie that I
would like it….n I wasn’t disappointed a bit.
If you
watch the movie standalone considering it as a fiction and a mere thriller
film, it makes an amazingly thrilling story full of investigations, surprises
and passions…..the minute the thought of reality creeps into mind, it simply gives goose
bumps…….I really cant explain what all I felt while watching it, But I can imagine
the feeling of triumph for everyone involved and awaiting justice.
The movie
is wonderfully made with brilliant acting by everyone esp Jessica Chastain…..Doesn’t
feel like a documentary though it does its job of giving a detailed picture of
the chase and all procedures involved……The last 30mins of the film is definitely
the most gripping part when the navy seals start their flight to raid his
residence. The movie on the whole is definitely a must-watch.
It surely
brings everyone a feeling of satisfaction and justice.
Hmmm..
Some
interrogation scenes seemed very cruel….though they tortured the right guys in
the movie, made me feel awful about all the innocent people being interrogated
that way in real life
The movie
seemed to be revolving more on highlighting Maya (Jessica Chastain) than on the
mission and the other officers involved.…probably the director wanted the movie
to be more than jus a manhunt….probably its more about a woman’s victory in the
most ambitious and awaited chase of the world……I have read about Jen, the real
life counterpart of Maya and her deep association with this case…..not sure if
she was as responsible for tracking him as portrayed in the movie but she
surely deserves a hatsoff for her guts and attitude….

I was searching for reviews of this movie... and I tumbled on yours....
"It surely brings everyone a feeling of satisfaction and justice" ... you will change the last word of this sentence to "INCOMPLETE justice" after you watch the documentary "Loose Change" and/or reading the book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins.
