This is one of movies nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars and all about the killing of Osama Bin Laden. It is based very much around the CIA operation, headed by a lady and there is perhaps less of the actual operation than people might imagine – the media is focused more on the intelligence operation and the battle to find him. That search is not just the tale of a cohesive team looking for him, but the internal politics of the CIA and it is a movie well worth watching. I preferred it to “Argo” but then again, I said that I also preferred “Lincoln” to “Argo” and that is also true. It has a similar theme to “Argo” and I think anybody who liked “Argo” will like “Zero Dark Thirty”. It is directed by Cathryn Bigelow who most will remember having produced the brilliant, “The Hurt Locker”. “The Hurt Locker” won 6 Oscars, including Best Director for her at which time she became the first woman to win an Oscar as well as Best Picture. This is another superb movie, on a similar “America at war” storyline and well worth watching.

Argo is a 2012 historical drama thriller film directed by Ben Affleck. This dramatization is adapted from the book The Master of Disguise by CIA operative Tony Mendez, and Joshuah Berman's 2007 Wired article "The Great Escape" about the "Canadian Caper", in which Mendez led the rescue of six U.S. diplomats from Tehran, Iran, during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. I thus prefer Argo over Zero Dark Thirty. Zero was a bit long winded and boring, but that is my personal preference.

Argo was a bit too long winded for my liking but worth the watch. I enjoy watching movies or documentaries on him or 9-11. Will consider watching this.

Osama Bin Laden was on the hunt for almost a decade long. I would really like to know what actually happened the night he was killed in Abbotabad. I will definitely watch the movie , although poeple has told me that it is almost three hours long.
