It's not about torture. Sure it's evident in the movie and the first 20 minutes of it are not easy to watch - but it actually goes into why torture is not OK and at one point the CIA's torture guru resigns. The rest of it is all about the investigation and capture of Osama Bin Laden based off real events.
