Zero Dark Thirty

We after all this time "Zero Dark Thirty" has arrived.  It is already up for many awards including "Best Picture".  My summary of this movie is as follows. Realism at its best doesn't make it a "Fun Movie" but I deeply respect the telling of the story of "hunting for Ben Laden".  You KNOW your watching a good movie when (like "Lincoln") the outcome is known but you are tense just the same.

This is a long movie, but very intricate.  The technology is fascinating as is the commitment of all involved.  The character played by Jessica Chastain was being questioned by the head of the CIA,  "What have you done before this assignment?"  She responds,  "Nothing. I've only worked on this."

11 years!

Great cast, director, and visuals.  BTW:  When this movie was originally started, they were making a movie about hunting for Ben Laden.  They were well under way when he was killed and then scrambled to re-write the story.

It is ****star.  2013 Movie #3.
