This movie played like a TV series called "Homeland",already reviewed by me on this blog,I know its based on killing Osama but its a dramatization and thats part of the problem,thus I took 1 and 1/2 stars off.Released in 2012 and running 157 minutes its also a bit long.However its cast fits their roles with a star in smaller role,James Gandolfini,as the CIA director. Kathryn Bigelow again show she can direct with the "big boys"but a star is really born with Jessica Chastain as Maya,a CIA case officer who is obsessed with killing Osama.Now there are is some torture and killing,but hey,thats life and the movies and I will not judge this movie on that.My only issue is that its hard to upstage a top TV series with the same sort of tough female character and obsessive nature even when you have a historical event to base it on.
