Zero Dark Thirty plot spoiler: Osama Bin Laden dies at the end.

In all seriousness though, removed from historical context the movie is absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately this is reality and we can't quite do that... Throughout it one is rooting for torture as a necessary evil, rooting for the CIA, and rooting for the Navy Seals. This is achieved by Bigelow's stereotypical bucketing of all the Middle East hate as typical one-dimensional bullshit through forcing the closed-minded American perspective on the audience.

I could go on and on, but I'll leave it at even though I left the theater thinking the US Military produced the movie I'm happy it isn't as offensive as the new Batman movie is.
