Jessica Chastain
The real life analyst that Chastain portrays may not be well-liked in the intelligence community. Okay, she is loathed, but that doesn’t mean her work wasn’t greatly important and led to the death of al-Qaeda leader and 9/11 mastermind Usama Bin laden.
We greatly appreciate the performance Jessica puts forth in Zero Dark Thirty and how it follows events sequentially in great detail, mirroring closely the series of events leading up to the operation to take down UBL.
Sadly, there were parts of the film, one in particular that was a little close to home as several friends were lost. May those officers who died in the Khost blast in December 2009 (which never should have happened) never be forgotten.
Okay, sorry had to get serious there for a second.
