Zero Dark Thirty - 2012

Zero Dark Thirty - 2012 - 7/10

 
Polarizing film that became wrapped in politics, as well as left vs right shouting,
Because of the hoopla, I postponed watching for years.
Also, reviews ranged from wildly ecstatic to major disappointment.
ZD30 is long, and the beginning rather disjointed and sporadic ... by design.
The story unfolds following chatter to slim leads to botched meetings.
Leading to a tense, and lengthy, finale.
Well worth your time if the subject compels you:  the search for and liquidation of Bin Ladin.
For others, the concept of political assassination will brook no entry.
