Not bad but not an Oskar Sweeper either . . . .

Chastain was good but so was most of the cast. I appreciated the complexity of the hunt and felt a bit of relief seeing how the trail to UBL went cold during dubya's second term ("human error"). In a look back at the history of the hunt it's so hard to imagine how ineffective a $25M reward was. Most of us would have given up our mother for that. Those fanatics got it going-on.

I agree with the final sequence. It was very tense because you felt like you were there. That's movie magic at its best. I felt Bigelow kind of chose the Mohammed route by not showing UBL's face. I guess she wants to be able to walk the streets the rest of her life.

All in all a good effort that comes very close into seducing you into a "documentary film" frame of mind.
