If you lived in the USA after 9/11, the fact that Osama bin Laden was alive was like an open wound. Many Americans felt like there would never be closure to the events at the World Trade Center until he was brought to justice.
The sheer persistence of the CIA and the Justice Department in never giving up even after years of trying to hunt him down and tragedy within their own ranks is a testament to American will, drive and ambition.
Whatever your personal feelings on torture, this film walks the line of being objective and lets the viewer draw their own conclusions.
Very compelling film.

Disturbingly relevant even to contemporary events
Philip Roth's vivid dystopian novel depicts America under a fascist government through the eyes of a 9-year-old boy in the peak of World War One. It's dark and compelling, showing how creeping discrimination can ultimately make way for potential genocide. Absolutely grim yet gripping.

The Acting is amazing.
Awesome and terrible at the same time. Can I get some coffee?
Cringeworthy in a great way, I really feel the desperation of these men. The quotable lines. I've seen it three times and I shouldn't want to but I do. it's compelling.

Whoa. As a girl with depression and anxiety, this hit me hard. I loved this book. There were compelling characters, with multiple flaws, relatable situations, and an amazing plot.
I admit, Wallace was a bit of a douche near the end, and that pissed me off, but, like he apologized, so it's fine I guess.

This movie is a really awesome Netflix Original. The cinematography is excellent. The acting is compelling, even the children are incredible. Lots of action, with a huge surprise plot twist. I was blown away when I realized what was actually happening. This is a very creative, thrilling sci fi movie and I highly recommend it.
