I did like this film, but not as much as I thought I would. I liked all of the action, and the parts that had you on the edge of your seat. It was very entertaining to watch. I did hold it to a higher expectation because it was a very political movie, and it was also about two and a half hours. It let me down a little bit, because I don't believe that they portrayed the CIA correctly. I did like it a lot don't get me wrong, but I think it was just a little miss leading in some parts. I really liked how a woman was the leading actress, and the main character because it showed that we do have power as women.
I really don't pay much attention to politics, or anything that has to do with the government, but I do know that this film was liked by many people. It won best picture at the Oscars in 2013. It did really well the first week of sales too, it collected a total amount of about $134,000,000 at the box office. Obviously as an American watching this film was entertaining to us. I guess I tried looking at it from a perspective of a muslim, and how they felt watching it, or if they ever did watch it. I would be really upset as someone who supported Al Qaeda watching this movie, but if I was just a muslim person watching this without being devoted to that terrorist group then I think I would have been interested as to how our government handled that situation. Overall I really liked the movie, but I think that it was pretty violent at points, and I also think that people really talked it up before actually watching it.
I am adding this!!! I rewatched the movie. I did really like it better watching it a second time, and having a better understanding of it. The way it was portrayed is amazing, and it feels so real watching it. I really would suggest watching it.
The movie does sound like a very good movie. I agree it would probably be difficult to understand the first time streaming it. I had the same issue with mine.
