A masterfully gripping portrayal of a ten year operation. Although in its efforts to keep the story moving, it does get a little "24" at times (the lone agent pushing against her superiors in her quest for revenge, the extended enclosure sequence at the end which gets close to fetishising the military precision) and also muddies the waters in its stance on torture, overall it manages to maintain a realistic and critical eye (Chastain's character slowly becoming accustomed to and implicit in torture, the soldiers who kill Bin Laden portrayed as man-children holding model helicopters like toys).
