The United States claims to defend human rights. It not only does not defend them, it violates them for all nations.

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2013)

There was a lot of interesting material here: The anger of the Iranian revolutionaries, most, if not all justified; the suspense as we see disaster at every turn, and a story for the ages.
But, what really grabbed me was John Goodman and Alan Arkin. The dialog was from writer Chris Terrio, who should get an Oscar, but the delivery was pure Goodman and Arkin, and it was fantastic.
Yes, the film is BASED upon a true story, and Hollywood took some liberties, but it was a great film nonetheless. Not the best of 2012, but one you definitely do not want to miss. And, no, Ben Affleck was NOT the best director of 2012 either.
