Zero Dark Thirty | Eastern North Carolina Now


Maya, Jessica Chastain, toiled in the service of her country to discover the whereabouts of Osama, and nearly just as hard, she was tasked to convince the Obama administration to kill bin Laden where she found him her in this compound: Above. Mark Strong as CIA Home Office operative, George, was always in Maya's "corner": Below.


    Of course, we all know the public story, where a reluctant president finally gave the go-ahead to kill bin Laden, then went on to "spike the football," by making this his one foreign policy achievement, and then got elected president, completely in the face of a Benghazi Cover-up. Regardless of those immutable facts, this is still Maya's story, and the story of the other courageous CIA operatives, and, of course, the brave dedicate members of Seal Team 6.

Maya, Jessica Chastain, by her tenacious resolve, played the pivotal role in orchestrating Osama bin Laden's demise: Above. Click on the image to expand.

    Remarkably, there was no Candidate Obama leading them on this perilous mission. No, far from it.

    Rated R. Release on DVD march 19, 2013. 157 minutes of run time.

Wyatt (BCN's reviewer cum laude) joined me in watching the film, "Zero Dark Thirty," and we both noticed the subtle inference that the Obama Administration is not truly engaged in the War on Terror. Considering that deftly laid subplot to this film: Is Obama truly engaged in the War on Terror?
93.44%   Yes, he endeavors to keep us safe
6.12%   No, he only cares about social engineering
0.44%   What War on Terror?

This movie raised the political ire and was seen as favorable to Barack Hussein by some. Wyatt did not see that. In fact, he saw the inaction of the Obama Administration, and their lack of processing new information as damaging to any perception of a Commander-in-Chief at war.

Another movie for me to put on the movie bucket list. Good review and very interesting poll results. Was this poll recent as I missed my chance to vote. No debate needed Wyatt, well stated position and the review can stand on its own.

Take it up Wyatt, but I warn you: He rarely does comments, and he has sense of extreme privacy that he rarely allows to be violated.

But I can tell you what I know of Wyatt: He thinks Obama is an idiot. You know, he's not alone. I think it may be that ex-military, during war time thing for my friend, Wyatt.

Why not just review the movie without the abject criticism of President Obama. It would not have happened without the authorization of the Commander-in-Chief --- any more than the Stand Down order which could have saved the 9/11 attack WAS GIVEN so standard and quick interception of the death jets DID NOT HAPPEN.

Did any of us know the practice site for the Bin Laden compound was over in Hyde County? Don't try to go there since it is a Black Ops Black hole. Anyway, NC played a bigger role than yet revealed in the ramp up to get the mastermind of the planes plan which killed so many of us.

I would say "justice has been served." It took place in the same house Jimmy Carter occupied when he authorized the Iran Hostage attempt to try liberating them. Any President who makes such a call knows the success or possible failure hinges on success with a bold covert mission.
