It's ridiculous how well this teaser trailer for Zero Dark Thirty (formerly 'Kill Bin Laden') plays. After watching this trailer, I wanted to eat a big fat steak, grab a huge gun and go out and kill a bunch of terrorists.

Maybe that's just me though.

Seriously though, Kathryn Bigelow is quickly making a name for herself in the war action genre of films after The Hurt Locker and now this film. The film based on the true story of how the United States tracked and ultimately killed Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.

Oops, spoiler alert.

But really, do we need spoiler alerts for films based on topical news stories within a couple of years of breaking? Yeah, I didn't think so. By the way, the ship sinks in Titanic.

Zero Dark Thirty stars Joel Edgerton, Kyle Chandler and Jessica Chastain and is set to invade theaters on December 19.
