ZERO DARK THIRTY

A staggering achievement in filmmaking by Kathryn Bigelow, who is the best director of the year for her phenomenal cadences of a slew of characters in "Zero Dark Thirty", a methodical, disciplined and carefully calibrated work.  Spanning ten years, from September 11, 2001 on, this riveting docudrama looks at the road to capturing Osama Bin Laden.  Spectacular and tense at times, "Zero Dark Thirty", referring to the time the raid on the Bin Laden compound began on May 1, 2011, covers all the bases, entertains, stuns and scintillates.  There's never a dull moment in this great effort, possibly the best work Ms. Bigelow ("The Hurt Locker") has ever put on film.  A must-see.  Jessica Chastain leads a diversified cast, and Mark Boal's script is acute, perceptive and very clever.  Based on first-hand accounts of actual events.  Released in the U.S. in December 2012.  Two hours and 37 minutes.  Distributor: Columbia Pictures.  REVIEW soon.
