Now that the dust of the recent presidential election has settled (and other information about the search for OBL has come to light), we can see this flick for what it really was--just a campaign tool for one side in the 2012 presidential campaign. Produced by Weinstein, one of the President's biggest boosters in the film industry. Lots of deeply serious and introspective Presidential commentary during the flick. But on numerous points we now know Weinstein simply fabricated as he went along.
The film DOES paint a flattering portrait of seal training and the Skype videos with loved ones at home were moving; that's the reason the movie gets two stars instead of just one.
Like the movie "JFK," this one does a disservice to history. Oh, well. These are interesting times we live in.
