Ridiculous Audio Levels Ruined the Film

Rating: 5/10 (8 December 2012)

Ben Afleck / Producer / editing Audio technician needs to be terminated and permanently banned from every making another movie--or whomever (director, etc.) is responsible for the audio levels of the finished product.
If you like having an air-horn blasted into your ear, then you'll love this movie.
As you're trying to get into the film, and you are listening intently to the whispered conversations between the actors, the movie will suddenly (and frequently) shift to a scene of screaming Iranians-- with the volume 100 times higher than the rest of the film. It's like shoving an ice pick into your ears... and they keep on doing it throughout the first 1/4 of the film.
This audio guy / director ... should be fired and I hope that he costs this film any and all awards for which it might be nominated.
