everyone involved in this op and then I'm going to kill bin
Laden." - Maya
Why watch this?
My one post-viewing thought was, "Any country on this planet
would be a fool to mess with our military".
Plot Summary: This
CIA and military film focuses on Maya, a CIA operative
responsible for finding, through any means, the whereabouts of
Al Qaeda's leader, Osama Bin Laden. She's a direct, determined
and no bullshit lady. Finally, in 2011, her team's efforts
identify a compound in Pakistan where it is very likely Bin
Laden lives. A U.S. Navy SEAL team, at night, is sent in to kill
or capture Bin Laden.
Dad's Preview:
There is a very strong cast, but nobody
can hold a candle to Chastain. She commands the screen as a
leader, but we also see her vulnerable side. This is a powerful
education on the capabilities of the U.S. defense machine. It's
quite badass, and scary, when it needs to be.
