One of Ben Affleck's finest directorial works so far..

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2013)

After watching "The Town" from Ben Affleck, i was waiting with anticipation for his next flick and boy was it worth the wait. Basically, the movie one of his finest work. Suspense, action keeping you on your seat wanting for more and more, until the end of the movie.
OK, the Iranians are not portrayed in a very positive light in this movie, but lets not forget this is a movie made by an American, celebrating the hardship of the American embassy staff that was held hostage in a country that was bound to make a point that American imperialism was not going to fly in their country..
Having said that, Ben Affleck does not go into the politics of the Iranians too much. The situation was very tense and you can feel it throughout the movie.
There is no moment where things get easier for the protagonists of the film.
Great performances all around although i found Affleck's character to be one dimensional at times.
So, if you like Spy movies, inspired by real events and a real political background to them and suspense all around, this is definitely a good flick for you.
Have fun watching this, I know i did ;)
