Jessica Chastain stars in Kathryn Bigelow's stunning drama about America's quest to catch al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden following 9/11.

Brilliantly capturing the intensity and uncertainty of the decade-long hunt, Bigelow's complex, intelligent drama is breathtaking.

In an Oscar-nominated performance, Chastain is outstanding as the CIA agent who follows the thinnest of clues, hints and hunches with steely, single-minded tenacity.

We all know how the story ends, but when it comes to the final raid - filmed using hand-held cameras and night-vision glasses - the action is nerve shredding.
