and Seven Psychopaths was good, at least most people thought so

Someone uses that word or phrase during that scene


Wash / repeat for 3 hours.

It was a good watch.

I thought it started off sluggish, but gained steam as it progressed. I didn't like the lead actress, i thought she had a very cardboard performance.

The best part of the movie started when they began surveillance on OBL's compound, and went on till the end. The raid itself was simply awesome.

i enjoyed this overall. but it wasn't amazing like some had claimed.

how does the final hour, the raid, compare to the made for TV movie that's on Netflix? i've been meaning to watch it too. Referring to Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden,/]

Both are excellent recruiting tools for America's armed forces.

^^Couldn't make it through twenty minutes of that made for TV Weinstein trash...the acting was garbage, the dialogue was worse than Act of Valor, and it was clear the producers/writers knew nothing about the military or special forces in general

Not to mention the fact that even after the NatGeo made them cut down on the amount of Obama references you could feel the October-surprise intentions seeping through pretty plainly

I made it through all of the movie, and I really enjoyed it. Echo the 'wasn't amazing' sentiment, but that last hour was really gripping and lined up almost verbatim to the book narrative in No Easy Day.

I really liked how well the movie wove together a lot of the smaller terrorist attacks and casualties between 9/11 and the raid that were easy to forget over the decade and blended in with the news cycle....it kept the movie feeling fresh and real

I liked the movie. Hated the ending of her crying by herself on the plane. Andy for Parks and Rec was funny.

I just watched this yesterday. It was good, but nothing I'd watch again.

I thought the climactic scene could have been a little better.

One thing that bothered me was the fact that all the accounts I've read have said that seal team 6 team was not told who their target actually was until they were on the helos en route. They may have suspected they were preparing for bin laden, but weren't actually told until they were on the way. They were only told "high profile target".

In this movie, the chick just tells everyone in the middle of the helo hangar days before the actual raid that they are going after bin laden.
