What They're Saying:
"What we see -- the anger and the desperation; the terse, anxious exchanges among agents; the breathless chase through crowded Pakistani streets -- is stunningly detailed and convincing from scene to scene." -- The New Yorker

Good for Kids?
Although Common Sense Media says older teens "should be able to handle" Zero Dark Thirty's intensity, the film is rated R for strong violence and language throughout.
