To me she is a fascinating character as she was initially a driven person in terms of her career, but then the mission became personal for her, so she became obsessed with finding Bin Laden. I'm not into politics either and though I live in the US I'm not a citizen yet, still I think given the damages Al Qaeda has done around the world, I couldn't help but care about this mission.<br /><br />Hurt Locker did nothing for me, either, but I was very impressed by Bigelow's direction here and the acting all around is top notch.<br /><br />– ruthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-67599742992396138592013-01-30T19:15:50.700+00:002013-01-30T19:15:50.700+00:00Great review!

However, I'm also rooting for Lawrence, because I don't see Riva or Watts winning.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-17392694875535686902013-01-30T17:23:34.846+00:002013-01-30T17:23:34.846+00:00I don't agree about the Americans appreciating...I don't agree about the Americans appreciating this and Lincoln more than others - i think if the film is good and well made, everyone will find something to relate to in it or at the very least they will be intrigued with the story. I love history so I enjoyed Lincoln but I couldn't care less about zD30 - Maya was insanely annoying and Chastain was laughable in her screaming scene. I did enjoy Ehle and Strong but the film was a huge misfire.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-5578457151319398702013-01-30T16:00:06.169+00:002013-01-30T16:00:06.169+00:00Good review Diana.

However, from what I know and see: it's a pretty damn good flick that had me from start-to-finish.
