Review: Zero Dark Thirty.

WOW WHAT HAVE I JUST SEEN? A WAR MOVIE WITH AN ENDING I KNEW OR A TAUT THRILLER WHICH MADE ME INEXPLICABLY TWITCH AND TURN IN MY SEAT EVEN AS I KNEW WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN NEXT? YES STRANGE. BUT KATHRYN N BOAL HAVE AN ABILITY EXACTLY FOR THAT. HURT LOCKER SHOWED US THIS NAILS IT. AND HOW...

andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;

THE MOVIE STARTS WITH AN AUDIO OF PEOPLE SHOUTING N CRYING FOR HELP TRAPPED ON THE HIGHER FLOORS OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. WITHOUT SHOWING ANYTHING SHE AT ONCE MAKES US FEEL RIGHT ABOUT THE TORTURE SCENES THAT FOLLOW. AS A HORROR FAN I'VE SEEN MUCH MUCH WORSE. BUT THIS ONE IS DONE WITH PANACHE. NOT GLORIFYING IT BUT MAKING IT LOOK NECESSARY. AND HERE WE MEET MAYA(JESSICA CHASTAIN) AS SHE LOOKS AWAY FROM IT ALL. APPARENTLY NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS METHOD. BUT KNOWING THAT THINGS NEED TO BE DONE.

AND THE TORTURER IS DAN(JASON CLARKE). SO IN CLEAR TERMS WE KNOW TORTURE WAS A WEAPON USED EXTENSIVELY TO EXTRACT INFO. BUT IT DIDNT HELP MUCH.

AND THAT BRINGS US TO THE HEART N SOUL OF THE MOVIE JESSICA CHASTAIN. SHE IS QUICK TO REALIZE TORTURE ISNT THE WAY N BRAINS WILL WIN THE WAR OVER BRAWN. AND ONCE SHE TAKES OVER ITS ALL UPHILL. HAVING BEEN RECRUITED DIRECTLY FROM THE UNIVERSITY SHE HAS ONLY GOAL IN HER LIFE-KILL OSAMA. STEELY DETERMINATION,GREYISH CHARACTERSTICS N UNEMOTIONAL. SHE IS AS TOUGH AS NAILS FOR THOSE 10 YEARS TRACKING DOWN OSAMA WITH A SINGLE MINDED DEVOTION. AND BOY WHAT AN ACT JESSICA. REQUEST FOR A DATE COMING SOON :)







SO AS I SAID ABOVE THIS MOVIE IS ONLY ABOUT HER STEELY DETERMINATION AND HOW SHE DOGGEDLY PURSUES HER TARGET AND TRACKS HIM DOWN BEFORE THE NAVY SEALS FINISH HIM. AND THEN BRING THE BODY TO HER AS SHE RECOGNIZES IT SENDING AMERICA INTO RUPTURES. AND THAT FORMS THE UTTERLY BRILLIANT LAST THIRTY MINUTES AS WE ARE SHOWN EXACTLY HOW THE NAVY SEALS TOOK OVER THE ABBOTABAD RESIDENCE OF OSAMA AND KILLED HIM AND HIS ASSOCIATES. I THINK ITS NOT ENTIRELY TRUE BUT BOAL HAD TO WORK WITH WHATEVER HIS CIA FRIENDS GAVE HIM. AND FOR THAT HE SHOULD BE APPRECIATED. AND THE THRILLINGandnbsp;CLIMAX MEANT A GREAT PAYOFF FOR THE SLOW BURN FIRST TWO HOURS. SO IT FELT GREAT.



OTHER THAN IT THE NOTABLE ACTS ARE FROM JENNIFER ELHE N KYLE CHANDLER. ESPECIALLY JENNIFER ELHE WHO PLAYS THE CHARACTER OF JESSICAandnbsp;WHO IS WORKING TOGETHER WITH MAYA IN CRACKING THE CASE. UNFORTUNATELY SHE GETS KILLED IN A SUICIDE ATTACK. BUT EVEN THAT ISNT GONNA STOP MAYA.andnbsp;EVEN AN ATTACK ON HER DOESNT STOP HER. SHE BARELY SAVES HERSELF BEFORE BECOMING MORE DETERMINED TO END IT. KYLE CHANDLER WHO ISNT HELPING HER GETS THE BOOT. SOandnbsp;SHE'S NO NONSENSE. AND SO IS THE CINEMATOGRAPHY(GREIG FRASER). PAKISTAN ISandnbsp;CAPTURED BEAUTIFULLY.andnbsp;AND THE LAST THIRTY MINUTES ARE PARADISE. EDITING IS PRETTY GOOD AS WELL(WILLIAM N DYLAN). AS IS THE BACKGROUND MUSIC. INTENSE.



SO IN THE END ASandnbsp;EVERYONE EXULTS SHE SITS IN HER PLANE READYandnbsp;TO RETURN HOME,ALONE AS MOST OF HER TEAM HAVE BEEN KILLED OR RETURNED BACK HOME. THE PILOT ASKS HER WHERE DOES SHE WANNA GO. SHE THINKS N THINKS N THINKS N SUDDENLY TEARS SWELL UP. YEAH WHERE DOES SHE HAVE TO GO? HER BIGGESTandnbsp;OBSESSION WAS DEAD N BURIED. NOW SHE HAD NOTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.andnbsp;SHE WAS JUST ALONE WITHOUT ANY FRIENDS.......AND SHE REALIZED THAT SO LATE.andnbsp;



HIGH TENSION METER: 8/10.
