Don't expect a plot, storyline, character development or comedy. We all know what the story is. This is about how it was done.

This is a documentary that tells us what happened it great detail. We don't usually get access to how the CIA works and what they do exactly in normal times. After 9/11 weren't normal times with the threat of terrorism everywhere. HBO makes great documentaries with real facts. If you want to know more, it is worth it.

I don't know how someone can make a movie about as important a subject as the appearance of, hunt for, finding of, and execution of Osama bin Laden -- a subject for adult audience -- and then ruin it by presenting it as if it were a television commercial designed to sell pimple cream to thirteen-year olds, but they've managed to do it.

Please don't consider this a full review. I was only able to sit through the first quarter hour or so before giving up on it. What the viewer sees are instantaneous cuts of photos of bin Laden, a short video clip, two talking heads from the CIA, a white board on which a disembodied hand scribbles some unidentifiable names. Sometimes there is a quivering shot of the white board with NOTHING ON IT. It was a week before I was able to sit up in bed and take solids again.

The camera wobbles as if held by a drunk. The editor seems to have snorted a few lines and the director was on mushrooms. Someone ought to make a real movie about this historical event.

Advisory: Dangerous to your mental health if you're not barely post-pubescent. Want to see a fine movie about the taking of Ben Laden? Try Katherine Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty."

This is an HBO documentary about the hunt and the killing of Osama Bin Laden by the Americans. It's great to see an inside look at the team that was tasked to hunt for Bin Laden. Certainly there's a sense that some parts are being left out or glossed over. It's hard to determine whether it's a matter of personal views or actual secrecy requirement. But overall it's important to see what actually happened. I found the interviews with many of the people involved very compelling. Sadly, some of the main people weren't there. One in particular was killed in Afghanistan.
