Kathryn Bigelow strikes me as one of those rare dark horse types who comes out of nowhere (although Point Break has its considerable merits) to become a mainstay director. Following the immense (and well-deserved) success of The Hurt Locker, Bigelow is at it again (it being addressing modern warfare in utterly riveting ways) with Zero Dark Thirty. The film chronicles the 10-year-long hunt for Osama bin Laden; an intriguing subject made all that much more so through Jessica Chastain's by-all-accounts incredible performance.
