Storyline

Maya is a CIA operative whose first experience is in the interrogation of prisoners following the Al Qaeda attacks against the U.S. on the 11th September 2001. She is a reluctant participant in extreme duress applied to the detainees, but believes that the truth may only be obtained through such tactics. For several years, she is single-minded in her pursuit of leads to uncover the whereabouts of Al Qaeda's leader, Osama Bin Laden. Finally, in 2011, it appears that her work will pay off, and a U.S. Navy SEAL team is sent to kill or capture Bin Laden. But only Maya is confident Bin Laden is where she says he is.

I was so excited to see this movie. I have read the book

 which was excellent.  One reason this movie only received 4 stars was because in the book, it explains how they trained for this mission and how they knew where to go and what to expect. They didn't explain any of that at all.  From reading about it in the book, I feel it was an important part left out. Other than that, it was a great movie. 

If you haven't read this book, I would suggest it if you like to read.

If you have seen this movie or go to see this movie, I would love to know what you think.

I loved it!
