Layers of details are peeled off, the logic is subtle, and he patiently explains the causes and consequences of the intelligence work, and very methodically connects several real terrorist incidents and plots from 9/11 to the killing of bin Laden. We can believe that there are so many characters involved in these different events. The film simply omitted most of the names. Without tampering with history, it cleverly established plot connections to focus on the heroine Maya and at the same time draw the audience’s attention. Focus on the plot logic. Unlike previous Hollywood spy films that struggled to fight for valuable intelligence, this film reflects the real world situation---the intelligence is not too little but too much. After a more complicated and arduous authentication process. In addition, the pursuit of bin Laden for more than ten years seems to have become an unattainable dream, so many people regard stopping the next terrorist attack as a more realistic task. Only Maya bit down on this mission that may not be accomplished for a lifetime, and made history through hardships and dangers. From the beginning, I couldn't bear the lynching and saw that in the later period, no matter what the means was only to ask for information, the search for bin Laden also became the meaning of her life from her work. Jessica Chastain’s performance was really strong, and I said it was acceptable to the actress.
Unlike the clear anti-war stance of "The Hurt Locker," this film is extremely calm and objective in reproducing this process, revealing that the CIA is neither merciful nor exaggerated when it is not for the lynching overseas. This is a covert espionage operation, and I almost believe that the interrogation process is a documentary process. When the film reflects the work and temper of the intelligence personnel and the customs of Afghanistan and Pakistan, there is no moral implication. Only the harsh and lively shots and editing show the objective and non-exaggerated position, including the final hunting operation. Many people say that the hunt is the climax of the film, but I feel that this known history is not as exciting as the previous multi-threaded substitution. The only exception in objectivity is probably that Maya sits alone on the transport plane at the end of the film. For bin Laden, she has no family and no friends. Now that she has pursued her half-life goal, she faces the dilemma of knowing where to go. The emotional expression at the end of the film is so clear that it contrasts with the style of the whole film and further clarifies the boundary with the "main theme".
adaptation is good, and the adaptation is beautiful. This female director is too manly. Take this excellent anti-terrorism film to pay tribute to the anti-terrorism fighters again. They represent the modern civilization of mankind, fighting on the front line of wrestling with the barbaric medieval forces.
