Kathryn Bigelow is an intriguing director who has mastered every skill at portraying faithfully a complex process that lasted almost a decade---the tracking down and killing of the greatest terrorist in the world---Osama Bin Laden. So says Richard Corliss in a rave and sophisticated review of the film, which opens in NYC & LA in December---just in time for an Oscar nomination.
Although it will be tough to beat Lincoln for best picture, Zero Dark Thirty is coming to a theater near you in January & Corliss thinks it will show the CIA in a light that most flash & dash flicks like the Bourne trilogy disdain. And Oliver Stone would flip.
Here's another rave review---I for one think all the 911 culprits should be water boarded until they spew their friends' names & whereabouts. This reviewer obviously does not.
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck
