Zero dark thirty

"Zero Dark Thirty"
Grace Fogel
In September, 2001 a terrorist group known as Al Quaeda, launched an attack on the United States which killed nearly 3,000 innocent citizens. After much research it was discovered that the leader of the group was a man named Osama bin Laden. "Zero Dark Thirty", is based on the true events that led to the killing of Bin Laden.
"Zero Dark Thirty", directed by Kathryn Bigelow, is set in modern day Pakistan. The CIA agent Maya, played by Jessica Chastain, has spent nearly a decade trying to find Osama bin Laden. This dramatic history thriller keeps you entertained throughout the whole film. It depicts the true events and actions the U.S took to find and kill Bin Laden.
Dan, played by Jason Clarke, Ammar, played by Reda Kateb, and Maya played by Jessica Chastain, do a good job at playing their character.
The movie was enjoyable and informational. It gives the viewers a portrayal of how the CIA operates in situations like this one.
I would recommend this movie to older teenagers and up. People who enjoy history thrillers should definetly watch this film. The MPAA rating for this movie is R. The film contains harsh torture scenes and violent scenes along with profound language. This film is a 4 out of 5 stars.
