While we know the ending, it was interesting to find how long and how much work it took to find OBL. It took 10 years of people's lives to find it. It was a satisfying ending.

The commenter beneath mine says: "This historical true eventful story produced brings some closure ..." Huhhhh? "Historical"? "True"? What court convicted Osama bin Laden, after all? Let's take a simple examination of the facts: on 9/10/01, the Pentagon's comptroller announces that their auditing team (DIA's Financial Management staff) discovered that $2.3 trillion in DoD funds was unaccounted for, i.e., missing. On 9/11/01, almost the entire auditing team was killed when an airliner crashed dead center into the Pentagon's west wall. Nothing more was heard of that unaccounted for (missing) $2.3 trillion? How's about a docu-drama on that?

One of the few movies that I've watched where I know how it will end, yet it still held my interest throughout the entire movie. Excellent special effects and great acting by all. The final assault was brutal and cold, so it's not something you want little kids watching, though they would probably lose interest before that point anyhow.

Overrated and boring. I can't believe that that the Hurt locker game first. With the Hurt Locker I felt that Bigelow worked hard to make everything authentic (even the arabic was of the correct dialect) and with this movie she didnt even try as Pakistanis were speaking Arabic when in reality they speak Urdu. I think she thought the movie was strong enough to stand above that and it didnt at all. She is regressing.

Overlong, slow moving potboiler about one woman's attempt to crash through the Glass Ceiling of the intelligence community. In order to do this she must prove that she can torture, kill and cuss just like a man. Climax sequence is one of the most tedious ever. Would have been better as a TV series.

A bit drawn out, but the payoff was worth it, just to witness the extermination of that cockroach, simulated or not.

Too much of the torture scenes, too little of actual strike.

Kind of a slow buildup, but the movie picks up the pace and it gets interesting. The raid on the Bin Laden compound was authentically and detailedly done.

I liked the movie. Jessica Chastain did a great job as "Maya". I think I want to read many of the books that came out regarding this event (such as "No Easy Day" and "The Finish"). Overall, I recommend this flix.

This historical true eventful story produced brings some closure as to how & what actually did happen makes this movie all the more interesting delivering mild intensity transpiring and unfolding CIA's investigation leading up to and including O.Bin Laden assassination! Although with bringing America's citizens to justice for the murderer of one on 9/11 and the 3000 lives lost leaves a negative impact of war & violence {sad but true} in this world we live in today!

Navy SEAL (speaking in code of Osama bin Laden's death over the two-way radio): "This is red zero two... Geronimo... for God and country... Geronimo..." (pan to Maya, devastated)
