    If anyone believes the official story your crazy. Bin Laden was too valuable as an intel asset, there is no way in they killed him at least at the compound. Which is why the photos were not released. We released photos of Saddmas sons after they were killed, video of Saddam being hung but now we have morals and wont release photos of the worlds number one most wanted terrorist ? Give me ing break.
    If they had photos of him dead they would have released them it would have been political gold for Obama. I'm not saying if he is alive or dead now but if this even went down and the fact that there was almost no resistance I do not believe he was shot on site.
    TBH

    Don't you know? According to Sylvia Brown, he has been dead since 2004.

    I'm the mother-f**ker who found this place!!!! = best line lol

    Saw ZDT today, good movie, the end raid wasn't really built up as they went up each floor (which I liked that approach). There was no "sign" of final boss time from music, etc. Hadn't even realized they had reached the 3rd floor when they started calling his name.

    Also glad that they didn't focus too much on the seals so you couldn't pick a favorite, and pulling for 1 to get the final kill. They are a team, no I in team.

    Although kind of wished they showed them training for the raid or at least talk about it.

    Saw it tonight, very good but didn't blow me away. Jessica Chastain is great. I haven't seen a better performance this year for an actress, so hopefully Oscar politics doesn't screw her out of the award. The entire hunt was also way more fascinating than the final mission, which made the climax of the movie fall flat imho. They made the SEALS seem way too meathead-ish, which may be real life but after all the cerebral characters in the movie, it just seemed weird watching Andy from Parks and Rec raid UBL's compound.

    So they are covering up the "fact" that Bin Laden was dead by saying he is dead.

    Makes perfect sense.
    If you caught on yet Chumpy the potential unproven theory is that the Gov't reported his death at a much different date then it happened.
    For intel purposes.
    If he is dead. Bwwaahahahah.

    A nice concise but informative review.
    Thank you mono.

    I saw it tonight and agree with mono that the hunt was the best part of the movie. The first hour of the movie is frustrating, but I think that was it's intention, so the audience could feel the realism of all of the false leads, dead ends, setups, etc. while searching for him. When they finally got the solid lead that led them to the house, it was a nice payoff. The bombing at the hotel restaurant was nicely done. The "area 51" scene and the SEALS sounding like idiots instead of trained assassins was too Hollywood. The movie also ended pretty abruptly right after his death. I would have liked to know what happened with the main characters after they got him & what the government did with the body.

    From what I've read, the real "Maya" is a grade-A that everyone in the CIA hates. Apparently after Bin Laden was killed and people got medals, she fired off an email to everyone involved, saying they didn't deserve a medal, that she was the only one who deserved a medal, and they were all just morons who didn't believe her and got in her way. Despite her work in finding Bin Laden, she's been passed over for promotions because of how horrible she is to work with.

    Who else here noticed the one smart woman who ran away right before the suicide bomber killed those people midway through the movie? I thought that was hilarious.

    No, you have to wait until the sequel, Zero Dark Thirty-One.
