The Long, Boring and Overrated Pursuit to Osama Bin Laden, 18 May 2013
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

After the September 11th 2001, the CIA rookie agent Maya (Jessica Chastain) is assigned to Pakistan to learn how to torture and seek out Osama Bin Laden. For ten years, she becomes obsessed to find Osama and in 2011, the terrorist leader of Al-Qaeda is murdered by the U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. Team following the lead of Maya.

"Zero Dark Thirty" is a long, boring and overrated movie about the pursuit to Osama Bin Laden apparently by a persistent and limited CIA agent with only high-school, what seems to be incoherent. The story shows the traditional abuses of invaders, with torture, trespassers crossing the frontier of a nation, invasion of house, execution of residents as if the end justifies the means. Further, the movie does not show the corpse of Osama being dumped into the sea. It is impressive the influence of James Cameron's ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow with the Hollywood Powers-that Be, establishing and media to get nominations to this terrible movie. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "A Hora Mais Escura" ("The Darkest Hour")
