Excellent Movie

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2012)

As someone who followed the events of the Iran hostage crisis on a daily basis, this movie brought back all the emotions I felt back then. The tension, anger, frustration and the eventually emotional relief were all presented right there on the screen. Ben Affleck did a fantastic job with the direction and all the actors gave excellent portrayals. With a special nod to both Ben and Bryan Cranston for their roles.
While I know some dramatic artistic license was taken on exactly how some scenarios played out, the essence of that event was kept together in a gritty suspenseful cinema experience.
It's a movie I will definitely buy on DVD.
