Good for a TV movie - different perspective than Zero Dark Thirty

Warning: Spoilers
If you are interested in the subject, for a TV movie this isn't bad at all. It is quite a comprehensive look at the hunt and capture of Osama.

Compared to Zero Dark Thirty, it shows things from more points of view, namely from the seals training and the ground work of the agents on the ground in Abbottobad. Also the picture of the gun confirming identity is interesting. The post scripts at the end are interesting too.

There are a couple of faults: some of the diversions about the seal's personal lives seem unnecessary. Also the blurry cam view of the attack on the compound are irritatingly unclear.

Don't understand the very negative reviews of this movie. It can't fail to be interesting given the subject matter and good production values. Even in Zero Dark Thirty things were a bit slow till the raid started so it's not fair to fault this one for being boring.

Overall well done.
