Zero Dark Thirty is a drama/thriller based off true events involving the manhunt for Osama Bin Laden. With its heavy praise and intriguing real-life storyline, your teens may have interest in seeing this movie. With this being a movie about a manhunt for a deadly terrorist, you can expect plenty of violence and tense moments (especially the films' climax). Violence includes violent interrogation scenes involving torture, sudden bombs exploding out of nowhere (made me jump), and plenty of gunfire. Language is also strong involving the f-word used several times along with the other "usual" potty-mouthed phrases. The main character, Maya, a female CIA agent who is the one leading the manhunt is a strong female character who isn't leading to get fame, but leading to help the country. She is relentless in her pursuit to take down Osama Bin Laden, and she can come across as a strong, brave female character girls can look up to. Beer, smoking, wine, etc are both referenced and seen, but aren't shoved in your face. Zero Dark Thirty is a very exciting drama that is slow at parts, tense at other parts, and shocking at times, as well, but in the end, it is a very well-made take on one of our nations' biggest victories. Teens 17 and up should get a fair share of educational value from this movie. Teens and kids 17 and under will find the movie too intense.

0 dark 30 sucks and the movie should not have been made at all. bid laden is stupid and should die in a hole. period.

This was an AMAZING movie. It is very intense has some disturbing things in it but a very mature 13 year old could see it as long as they aren't scared of it.

Characters are shot in the final scene multiple times while on the ground, blood is shown. There are some upsetting scenes of explosions and much intensity throughout. The profanity is the problem, there are close to 45 F words, as well as drinking and suggestive talk.

after reading the book and waiting until it came out, i was overall impressed with this documentary-like film. albeit the movie was controversial with the torture scenes, it was still a pure cinematic masterwork with a powerful performance by Chastain. this thrilling film has many acts of violence, mostly in the beggining. we hear calls from 9/11 victims, then we are shown a man being tortured by beating, waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and crammed in a small box. other people are shot with blood spurt and are sometimes seen afterward. 4 explosions go off, one in London which injures many people (one survivor is seen with blood running down his face). another is a suicide bombing at the base which claims many lives. the other 2 are at a restaraunt and at bin Laden's house. grisly aftermaths of shootings are seen, with blood and gore visible. the film also contains a mans naked butt on display, plenty of swearing, and smoking throughout.
