Starring: Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, and John Goodman.
An
accomplished thriller about escapees from the American Embassy
hostage situation in revolutionary Iran, and their rescue in an
unlikely operation. An extraordinary tale of true events, the film
racks up more tension in its final act than the whole latest season
of Homeland. Affleck proves himself as a filmmaker, balancing
effortlessly the threat of Iran with the comedy of the sequences in
Hollywood, leaving a coherent narrative. The all American stance did
leave a rather negative light on the Iranian people, but given the
subject matter of the film, it is to be expected. All things
considered, pretty great.
4/5
