Zero Dark Thirty

Directed by Kathryn Bigelow

From the director and writer of The Hurt Locker comes a powerful account of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. Kathryn Bigelow cements her reputation as an intelligent and innovative action director as she follows Maya (Jessica Chastain), a CIA operative whose hunch about the Taliban leader’s whereabouts led to the Navy Seal operation on his compound in 2011. Former journalist Mark Boal’s script blends fact with certain fictional elements seamlessly, creating a heart-stopping thriller.
