Kickass Movie Scene List #73: Zero Dark Thirty

This is obviously the newest movie on the list and will also be the most recently watched movie on the list. I had said when I started the list that it was solidified, and that no new entries would be added, but would rather be interspersed throughout the list as I saw new wonderful movie scenes. Unfortunately, one of the scenes I had picked wasn't quite as great on another review as I had thought it was, so I took it out and replaced it with this.

Zero Dark Thirty is not an 'entertaining' movie, per se. There's a space between 'respectable' (which implies that I didn't actually like it) and 'entertaining' (which it is and isn't, it's hard to be entertained by a lot of the stuff on the screen, and even the coda, while intense and attention grabbing, has sobering moments that don't fall under the realm of cheap entertainment).

It's engrossing and thought provoking, and the raid in the last hour or so is every bit as good as it's been made out to be.

But that's not the scene that I picked.
