I can't say I'm the biggest fan of either of these movies. Kathryn Bigelow knows how to move a camera around, but she's not the greatest storyteller. PB is pretty stupid and filled with cheesy moments, although I suspect a lot of people find that to be part of its charm. And ZDT is basically two and a half hours of the CIA with its thumb up its ass. I didn't see anything in it to raise it above the level of a competently executed procedural. At least PB is propulsive and has some fun action sequences and an entertainingly unhinged Gary Busey.
