It's certainly not a bad film

I completely agree. One movie was about how our military beat terrorists. The other was about how Hollywood beat terrorists. Academy voters couldn’t resist.

Also a sneaky good year for movies.
Django, Skyfall, Silver Linings Playbook.. And Argo beat them all.
Zero Dark Thirty was far superior to Argo, which I saw when it came out and have never watched again.
Zero Dark Thrirty in the movie theater was a phenomenal experience and for A brief moment there, Kathryn Bigelow was one of the best directors on the planet after Hurt Locker and Dark Thirty back to back...then she wasn't.
I thought it was a tactical, doc style thriller more than anything. It's one of the better movies of the last decade.
I'm not a big Bill Simmons fan, but I love his theory about how we need to award Oscars retroactively after 5 years, much like how there's a waiting period for sports halls of fame.
If we did that, no chance something like Crash wins, Shakespeare In Love beats out Saving Private Ryan, or Art Carney beats out Pacino for Best Actor when he was nominated for Godfather Part II.

I liked it. In fact, Mrs. Midnight who rarely digs war/military movies likes it.

You summed up Gandolfini's entire career right there.

One of my favorites of the 2000s along with Sicario
Both had fantastic soundtracks

I can't disagree with liking ZD30 over Argo... in fact Argo is probably my least favorite movie of that list, but Argo was still a really good movie.

Top 3 movie of the decade IMO

Fantastic movie. I just need blackout curtains in my house to be able to see the raid scene on my tv.
Posted on 1/7/20 at 9:03 am to UCFACTS4LIFE
Great the first time and the 8th time.
Posted on 1/7/20 at 9:31 am to UCFACTS4LIFE
Its one of those movies that when its on I'll stop whatever I'm doing to watch it. Unfortunately its not on all that much anymore.

It's fantastic. What is so t aout it is... this is how intelligence gathering actually works: tons of blind alleys and false starts, and then your big break is pretty much blind luck, and some minor piece of data you ignored a few years ago, but now you see it in new context.
The gradual hardening of the main character, as she loses her preconceived notions and develops a harder exterior is also fascinating. The things she is comfortable with at the end is not something she would have done in the beginning. This life DOES warp you, and it takes a toll on your own psyche.
I felt the film was far more fair and even handed in dealing with that than the partisan critics and supporters of the movie. The movie's politics are far more opaque and interesting than the screaming heads' debate.

Very good.
The raid scene was tense as shite. The score for the flight there was badass.
