One of the Greatest War Dramas of the 21st Century Is Leaving Netflix

Director Kathryn Bigelow experienced some of the backlash that has followed her for years with her latest film, A House of Dynamite, which debuted on Netflix a few weeks ago. The thriller, which explored a doomsday scenario with gripping realism, earned a rap on the knuckles from The Pentagon for suggesting that the government infrastructure might be inadequate in the face of a nuclear attack. Bigelow also ruffled feathers with her last feature, Detroit, and before that, with Zero Dark Thirty. Released in 2012, the latter film dramatized the decade-long manhunt for Osama bin Laden, and candidly exposed the "enhanced interrogation techniques" that were used to allegedly extract intelligence from suspects. The movie remains a seminal text on the War on Terror, and audiences that haven't yet watched it might want to hurry up because it's set to leave Netflix on January 1.
