Zero Dark Thirty is directed by the wonderful Ms Kathryn Bigelow.

It stars Ms Jessica Chastain in lead role.

This movie has HIT written all over it - such a superb drama thriller.

It was entertaining to watch.

Even through the dialogue, it kept you interested.

And for 2 hours and 37 minutes a movie regularly gets bumpy but not in this film.

Even the Hobbit Les Mis got bumpy.

The acting is unbelievably superb.

I could babble on about how superb Ms Chastain was, but you would probably be reading the word 'fantastic' over a billion times.

Jessica Chastain gave such a memorable performance, which is still stuck in my head. Brilliant job.

The Osama hunt scene was very well done but the dialogue was better.

Honestly, it was more interesting to listen to the dialogue than watch the Osama hunt scene.

Then we get to the writing. Convincing, full of interesting plotlines, undeveloped characters. Yes, undeveloped characters.

I get it, it's kind of hard to develop characters when their lives are set in an exact time period but give me a backstory.

At least give the audience something.

Still love this movie so much.

Best movie I saw on the school holidays by far if you take out Silver Linings and Les Mis.

Spectacular film. Just awesome.
