9 Films To Watch On Netflix UK In July (And 1 To Avoid)
7. Zero Dark Thirty
Arrived on July 1, 2019
A military drama chronicling the 10-year hunt for Osama bin Laden following 9/11. The film stars Jessica Chastain who won a Golden Globe for her performance as the relentless CIA operative Maya. She teams up with a strong cast of supporting actors to tell this historical tale.
Metacritic named Zero Dark Thirty their Best Movie of 2012, labelling it ‘Must See’ with a Metascore of 95. The film also holds 91% on Rotten Tomatoes (from 286 reviews) and 7.4 on IMDB.
This is not a text book. So creative liberties have again been taken. While you could probably be forgiven for getting something wrong in a conversation about Stephen Hawking’s sex life, the events depicted in this film carry a little more weight so probably best to read up on claims of inaccuracy afterwards. And perhaps some of the controversies it evoked.
