Zero Dark 30
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow
Starring Jessica Chastain, Joel Edgerton, Chris Pratt
Rating: A
Upon first viewing the trailer for Zero Dark 30 months ago, I thought the movie would be a bore fest. I couldn't tell what the movie was really about other than war. As time went on, the trailers got longer and more detailed and my interest grew. By the time I went to see the movie I was excited. Critics were loving the film and Jessica Chastain. I was not disappointed. The movie tells the clear story of the hunt for Osama bin Laden. The movie was written based on firsthand accounts from people who were actually in the situations. The storyline follows Maya, who was recruited for the CIA job right out of high school. Chastain's performance is inspired; her skills were really tested as her character shows great depth. As a former news producer I am familiar with the details on all of the terror attacks depicted in the movie, so it made me nervous to watch parts of the movie when I could tell what was going to happen.
