'Riveting' new Netflix documentary debuts with perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score as fans rave 'it's a must-watch!'
A 'riveting' new Netflix documentary has debuted with a perfect 100 per cent Rotten Tomatoes score as fans rave 'it's a must-watch!'. American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden, released on the streamer on May 14, follows the pursuit and capture of the terrorist leader who planned the 9/11 attacks. A follow-up to 2023's American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing, the three-part series goes behind the scenes of the US government's counter-terrorism efforts at the time. Directors Daniel Sivan and Mor Loushy use footage from the time and talking head interviews to let viewers in to the perspectives of decision makers - and show the tough calls they had to make. They told Netflix news site Tudum it is not about the war on terror but instead 'tells the story of the people tasked to find the world's most wanted terrorist and bring him to justice'. Some fans have already taken to X, Metro reports, to praise the portrayal of their manhunt that 'changed their lives, America and the world as we know it', as the directors said.

Directors Daniel Sivan and Mor Loushy use footage from the time and talking head interviews to let viewers in to the perspectives of decision makers - and show the tough calls they had to make One user said: 'American Manhunt Osama Bin Laden was a riveting documentary series. 'Just three episodes, most of which I've seen bits and pieces [of] over several documentaries/movies, but it was put together so well. 'Especially the third episode was nail-biting cinema. Hard-hitting, must-watch.' Another added: 'That Osama Bin Laden American Manhunt instalment is so good. Tens to whoever produced and directed it.' Someone else said: 'Intense, gripping and outstanding. American Manhunt Osama Bin Laden is superbly narrated and executed. I was hooked from beginning to end.' Meanwhile, though, other viewers found it one-sided, weighted too in favour of government efforts. One person said: 'It feels like the main point of the show is to make people sympathise with the CIA and the intelligence officers for their years-long intelligence failure. It's overkill at this point.' Similarly, someone else weighed in: 'Netflix has released American Manhunt Osama Bin Laden which seems to feature the "heroic" CIA officers who worked in Alec Station? The first episode follows CIA analysts as they trace the 9/11 attacks back to terrorist group Al-Qaeda and its leader bin Laden, before trying to apprehend him Some fans have already taken to X to praise the portrayal of their manhunt that 'changed their lives, America and the world as we know it', as the directors said Meanwhile, though, other viewers found it one-sided, weighted too in favour of government efforts 'FBI and Congress blamed those clowns for actively concealing the presence of known Al-Qaeda terrorists in [the] USA before the 9/11 attacks. Not heroes. Idiots.' The directors explained their approach: 'For us, the best way to understand history is to truly experience it. 'Being thrown into the driver's seat after the worst attack in American history would rattle anyone, even these brave men and women who had devoted their lives to protecting Americans by assessing geopolitical threats and sounding alarms that were often ignored. 'But the intelligence analysts didn't have time to grieve or reflect. They had a mission at hand: to figure out who did this and stop them before the next attack.' The first episode follows CIA analysts as they trace the 9/11 attacks back to terrorist group Al-Qaeda and its leader bin Laden, before trying to apprehend him. The second instalment depicts government frustration when the trail goes cold after the failed Battle of Tora Bora, the December 2001 American military engagement in Afghanistan aiming to capture or kill bin Laden. Finally, the last episode sees then-President Barack Obama order the highly risky special forces raid in Pakistan in 2011 which saw bin Laden killed at last. It comes after another film that recently dropped on the streamer was similarly hailed by fans on Rotten Tomatoes as 'the most intense movie I've ever seen'. James Cameron is known for his involvement with movie classics like Titanic, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Directing as well as Avatar, which earned him a Global Globe Award. Another film directed by Cameron, which is not as well known, is 1989 sci-fi thriller The Abyss - which hit Netflix earlier this month. The adventure movie follows a diving team, made of civilians, who are roped into helping with a search for a lost submarine. Ed Harris, Mary Mastrantonia, Micahel Biehn and Dick Warlock are amongst some of the talented cast members. The Abyss received an Academy Award for the Best Visual Effects and James was presented with a Saturn Award for Best Director.
