Story Line For Zero Dark Thirty | |
| Maya is a CIA operative whose first experience is in the interrogation of prisoners following the Al Qaeda attacks against the U.S. on the 11th September 2001. She is a reluctant participant in extreme duress applied to the detainees, but believes that the truth may only be obtained through such tactics. For several years, she is single-minded in her pursuit of leads to uncover the whereabouts of Al Qaeda's leader, Osama Bin Laden. Finally, in 2011, it appears that her work will pay off, and a U.S. Navy SEAL team is sent to kill or capture Bin Laden. But only Maya is confident Bin Laden is where she says he is. | |

Review For Zero Dark Thirty | |
| Chastain makes Maya as vivid as a bloodshot eye. Her porcelain skin, delicate features and feminine attire belie the steel within. Peter Howell-Toronto Star No doubt Zero Dark Thirty serves a function by airing America's dirty laundry about detainee and torture programs, but in its wake, there's a crying need for a compassionate Coming Home to counter its brutal Deer Hunter. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail While "Zero Dark Thirty" may offer political and moral arguing points aplenty, as well as vicarious thrills,as a film it's simply too much of a passable thing. Tom Long-Detroit News From the very first scenes of Zero Dark Thirty, director Kathryn Bigelow demonstrates why she is such a formidable filmmaker, as adept with human emotion as with visceral, pulse-quickening action. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post A timely and important reminder of the agonizing human price of zealotry. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Not only is Zero Dark Thirty one of the year's best movies, it's an inspiring one to share with your daughters. That is, if they're old enough to deal with explicit torture scenes. Lou Lumenick-New York Post Gripping throughout, with an impressive central performance, this is like a Dogme 95 redo of a Chuck Norris film ... Kim Newman-Empire Magazine The outcome is never in doubt, of course, but Bigelow's sublime skill as an action director comes into play as she's able to create tense shoot-outs viewed through infra-red goggles in the dead of night. Simon Reynolds-Digital Spy This thing is an embarrassment of riches; the jewel in director Kathryn Bigelow's crown. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix It is played out in a matter-of-fact way, like a documentary. Step by step we follow the evidence with Maya as she doggedly pursues Osama Bin Laden for more than a decade. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope With a little editing and some greater humanity infused into it, this could have been brilliant. 'Zero Dark Thirty' is solid and good overall, but not great. (Full Content Review for Parents also available) Jim Judy-Screen It! I'd call it efficient. I would not call it inspired, groundbreaking, brilliant, innovative -- or even particularly effective as drama. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) The fact that commentators, pundits, and politicians on both sides of the political spectrum are condemning Zero Dark Thirty is a sure sign that director Kathryn Bigelow and journalist-turned-screenwriter Mark Boal have done something right. James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk What makes Zero Dark Thirty such a fascinating film is that it plays both as an engaging procedural thriller and a serious examination of the country's moral compass. It is already doing what great movies do-starting conversation. Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com It asks its audience: When does the risk of doing something outweigh the risk not doing anything? What are the costs of revenge? Where will the "war on terror" take us next? Neil Pond-American Profile Zero Dark Thirty is the perfection The Hurt Locker promised. Bill Gibron-PopMatters Zero Dark Thirty is a model of artistic restraint, a film letting fantastic history trump the need to score partisan points. Christian Toto-Big Hollywood An effective and expertly made film, but a more character-driven story would've added some flesh to the bones of a great, true story. Christopher Lloyd-Sarasota Herald-Tribune It's particularly comparable to Zodiac, while there are also obvious parallels to Homeland, and a riveting, Call Of Duty-type finale. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor This is an instant classic. Cath Clarke-Time Out Zero Dark Thirty is a gripping, authentic-feeling account of the dark side of the war on terror. James Mottram-The List Chastain's Maya is a red-tressed Pre-Raphaelite madonna with the cleft chin and chiseled features of an action hero. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) After the lengthy torture scenes, procedural repetition takes over until the murkily-filmed Seal Team 6 raid. But Jessica Chastain is quite convincing as a CIA operative dedicated to her job. Betty Jo Tucker-ReelTalk Movie Reviews A well-acted, well-intentioned, disjointed mess. Widgett Walls-Needcoffee.com A well-produced and well-acted procedural/thriller film that stays focused on the frustrating nuts and bolts CIA led search for the elusive Al Qaeda leader. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews A gripping, almost necessary, piece of filmmaking. Jeffrey Westhoff-Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) | |
