I was really excited to watch this film, then it did not disappoint me by any way. Jessica Chastain and the rest of the cast did perform well. Kathryn Bigelow never failed to excite me, I really admire how she does effective thrillers, just like The Hurt Locker. What was really spectacular was that even if we all know the ending, what would happen to it, it still gave me kicks on the nerve. Surprised on bombings. The drama was there, the torturing scenes are believable. Amazing, a great watch! I'm glad that it received some recognitions. I was just curious, why Kathryn Bigelow did not receive that much attention with this? I believe this was better than the The Hurt Locker where she actually won her first Oscar. With this, not even nominated. Oh well, I felt bad for Affleck too.
