Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "Zero Dark Thirty" Rated R

Sci-Fi Bri's Movies:  "Zero Dark Thirty"  Rated R for Violence, Profanity, and Torture Scenes

Dir. Katherine ("The Hurt Locker")  Bigelow

Actors:  Maya (Jessica Chastain), James ("The Soprano's") Gandolfini , etc.

        Taking place in the Middle East, "Zero Dark Thirty" is the true story of how the CIA spent a decade tracking Osama bin Laden, and how at 12:30 a.m.  Pakistani time Last May("Zero Dark 30" in military parlance) a contingent of Navy Seals stormed Osama's hiding place and gave the notorious wealthy terrorist his well-deserved demise. Much of the movie takes place in CIA "black sites" where physical and psychological torture takes place on a daily basis. The torture scenes were difficult to watch, even though those who were terrrorists arguably deserved to be mistreated. Best Actress nominee Jessica Chastain was excellent even though her character condoned the secret torture going on all around her. I predict that Chastain will likely win as Best Actress.
