Zero Dark Thirty

I just saw Zero Dark Thirty.  It is presented pretty much as a documentary.  Not in style, but in substance.  It follows the trail of this investigator as she joins the team searching for Bin Laden and progresses through the eight some-odd years until he is found and killed.  There is very little emotion until the late middle of the film, when the investigator starts to get frustrated by delays.  This is compounded by her experiences and loses.  Is this an Oscar-worthy movie?  No.  Does Jessica Chastain, who plays the investigator, deserve an Oscar?  No.  Does it deserve a screenplay award?  Maybe.  There is a lot of information packed into this 2 hour 37 minute movie, but I don't think most of the characters are well served.  They are presented as needed and only giving what is needed.  It was a good exercise in telling the supposed story behind the manhunt, but it did little to draw me in or move me.
