The Hollywood Reporter said of the film, "it could well be the most impressive film Bigelow has made, as well as possibly her most personal." Variety was respectful but not quite as effusive: "The ultra-professional result may be easier to respect than enjoy, but there's no denying its power." Critic Katey Rich of The Guardian said of the film: "Telling a nearly three-hour story with an ending everyone knows, Bigelow and Boal have managed to craft one of the most intense and intellectually challenging films of the year."[37]

The Associated Press reported that early film reviews "revealed that the film features the waterboarding scene while at the same time playing audio of President Barack Obama saying that he does not believe the US should use torture." One reviewer said the waterboarding scene takes up almost the whole first fifteen minutes of the film.[38]

I got a feeling this is going to be some liberal garbage. They tried to get this thing released prior to the elections. That tells me that this could be an Obama suck off movie, being that the only reason it was made in the first place was to get democratic votes.
I hope i'm wrong and it has nothing to do with Obama, and is about the actual mission, but knowing Harvey Weinstein's liberal douchery, this could be a steaming pile.

This. It's a tremendously compelling story, and far too juicy a target to be usurped for political gain.

Supposedly Obama is featured only once...and it is not flattering. It is video of him decrying waterboarding...while someone is getting waterboarded.
