OK its not that accurate

Rating: 7/10 (19 March 2013)

If we park the liberties taken with actual historical events and some reviews on this site read more like a doctorate on American foreign policy than a review on the film. So lets leave the fact the Canadians not the CIA were the driving force and the British embassy actually sheltered the escapees, what do we have as a film? This did the one thing I want on a Saturday night it was entertaining, good story line, the actors carry the story convincingly, good pace and a sharp as a tack script, my favourite line is "at least they will be confused when their torturing you" I know some people are hung up on it not being historically correct but I love Blade Runner and it bears little resembles to Phillip K Dick's novel Do Androids dream of electric sheep which I also love, both stand as works in their own right I believe this film stands as a work in its own right. Go and enjoy.
