Zero Dark Thirty Movie Review: | |
What's striking is the absence of triumphalism -- Bigelow doesn't shy away from showing the victims shot down in cold blood in the compound -- and we come away with the overwhelming sense that this has been a grim, dark episode in our history. Tom Charity-CNN.com This is an instant classic. Cath Clarke-Time Out Chastain makes Maya as vivid as a bloodshot eye. Her porcelain skin, delicate features and feminine attire belie the steel within. Peter Howell-Toronto Star No doubt Zero Dark Thirty serves a function by airing America's dirty laundry about detainee and torture programs, but in its wake, there's a crying need for a compassionate Coming Home to counter its brutal Deer Hunter. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail While "Zero Dark Thirty" may offer political and moral arguing points aplenty, as well as vicarious thrills,as a film it's simply too much of a passable thing. Tom Long-Detroit News From the very first scenes of Zero Dark Thirty, director Kathryn Bigelow demonstrates why she is such a formidable filmmaker, as adept with human emotion as with visceral, pulse-quickening action. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post a brilliant high tech treatment of the subject and the classified nature of the disclosures Bill Gibron-Film Racket A film of infectious urgency, questionable accuracy, murky morality and undeniable emotional and intellectual power Marc Fennell-Triple J Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty is a grueling masterpiece that captures the hunt for bin Laden with a daunting amount of realism and efficiency. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered Slathered in controversy, Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty confidently and forcefully storms onto DVD with an admirable A/V transfer, only hindered by a paltry gathering of extras from Sony. Chris Cabin-Slant Magazine The direction by Kathryn Bigelow, who won Oscars for Best Film and Best Director in her previous film "The Hurt Locker," is fierce and focused... Sean Axmaker-Parallax View Despite what those silly Oscars would have you believe, it was this movie, not Argo, that was the finest of 2012. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com Indulges Cheneyian fantasies complete with the bad-movie scene of the prisoner's defiance: "You're just a garbage man in the corporation," shouts the Arab who needs a lesson in manners from the Ph.D. (in torture?) who is racking him. Richard von Busack-MetroActive Bigelow tells the story very well, very efficiently, but doesn't really say much about it, which is ironic given the response to the film in some quarters. Martin Roberts-Fan The Fire Kathryn Bigelow takes the procedural model and brushes away every unnecessary detail, leaving behind a heavy, blunt object of a film that is also hugely watchable, engrossing and, best of all... highly suspenseful. Dave White-Movies.com Rotten Tomatoes notes that I agree with Tomatometer critics 80 percent of the time, but this is one of those times I have to part ways with them. James Plath-Movie Metropolis Bigelow has directed excellent movies before, but this deserves to be remembered as the film that established her as a master. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com You can't deny that what Zero Dark Thirty sets out to do, it does excellently. Rima Sabina Aouf-Concrete Playground An exhilarating and compelling historical document worthy of praise. Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed Bigelow's latest proves a rewarding piece of filmmaking, one that, in its best moments at least, is as gripping and as troubling as anything the director's ever made. Tom Clift-Moviedex Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal shape history -- those breaks, big and small, that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden -- into one of the finest fact-based thrillers since "All the President's Men." Greg Evans-Bloomberg News A ripping revenge yarn. Jim Schembri-3AW Purely as cinematic exercise, Zero Dark Thirty is an exhilarating piece of work. But, beyond its for-the-times subject matter, the work does not linger whatsoever. Jay Antani-Cinema Writer Zero Dark Thirty is interesting as opposed to enjoyable, intriguing as opposed to entertaining, and certainly less memorable than The Hurt Locker. Matt Neal-The Standard It's quite remarkable how Bigelow and Boal managed to take 12 years of information (including a conclusion that everyone knows) and packaged it into a coherent, intimate and intense movie. Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews We know the ending, yet remain mesmerized by familiar details, filmed with a harrowing sense of urgency. It's as close to being in the White House situation room that night, watching a closed-circuit broadcast, as anyone could expect. Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times | |
