Zero Dark Thirty

Kathryn Bigelow's harrowing, lightning-rod procedural of the American intelligence community's decade-long manhunt for Osama Bin Laden is presented from the perspective of a young CIA operative (Jessica Chastain), from an unflinching look at the gathering of intel through torture to the successful assault of Seal Team Six upon the Abbottabad compound. Stark, compelling tale co-stars Jason Clarke, Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Ehle, Mark Strong, and James Gandolfini. 157 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set.
