Ben Affleck is very good at making these kinds of films

Rating: 8/10 (15 September 2015)

I am not that much of an historian, meaning I know a little about a lot of history, but no specifics more or less :) This was a story I did not know about, this is based on actual events, but for me this is what happened at that time, since I don't know the real story. This is in other words a Hollywood interpretation, of what happened in 1979, when a Hollywood film production (or almost) helped Americans to escape.
I think Ben Affleck is very good at making these films that either have a political agenda as this one, or shows a story about ordinary people that endures specific events, witch the people in this film also does.
I like the characters and the scenery, it is all very late seventies to me and works very well. This is certainly a film where you have to follow closely what is happening, but it also have time for clever remarks, small funny things and great acting.
