In my opinion this is an article where the author tries to persuade the reader to watch this movie with these five reasons. I thought because this movie has something that the author want people to know. And I think these five reasons describe those important things that the author want people to know.

First, the article makes an introduction about the director of this movie and the prize she has just won, then starts talking about the reasons, it begins explaining the difference from other movies that it has something more real since it's a movie that tells the hunt of Osama Bin Laden, it also has an even-handed portrayal of true events that makes the watcher to think, finally describes the scenes of these movies are kind of disturbing, but it ends being an amazing movie. I accept that this article convinced me to watch this movie… It sounds interesting.
