Incredibly over-rated

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2013)

Well, this movie was something. I had heard that it won some Oscars and being a big Breaking Bad fan, thought watching Bryan Cranston would be an enjoyable experience. Oh, how I was mistaken.
First off, this movie is ridiculously inaccurate. I've read how the character Affleck plays is only in Iran for 1 and a half days, and that it practically spat in the face of Canada - giving not half of the respect the nation deserved and played the "USA! USA! USA!" card.
Secondly, this film is incredibly insulting to Iran. OK, we all know Iran is not the most glamorous place in the world, however it is portrayed to be the equivalent of the bit of dirt and gum stuck between our shoes. In every scene, the Iranian people are angry, unforgiving murderers, executing people and generally causing havoc and terror
Finally, the actors are like cardboard cut-outs. Affleck has the same stupid face throughout the whole film and don't even get me started about the "hostages". I could not have cared less as to what happened to them.
Overall, this film is garbage. It is infuriating to think that this won an Oscar. This film is just a shot of pure American patriotism and misleading and false information.
