Well, the first half kinda drags for a bit as it's a recap of major terrorist events in the last 12 yrs but still intriguing. The last half is where shit gets heavy. The torture scenes were pretty realistic but no worse than you'd see in other movies. Chastain's performance was good but award worthy...not so sure. :thumbsup: for me

I'll be happy if it's even half as good as Hurt Locker.

This was all a bit too much of a propaganda movie for me. "look, we got the motterfokker, the torturing was great, we're the greatest country on earth, geronimoooooo"-ish for me. Embedded cinematography if you want. Sorry.
