Great movie overall. A bit of typical...

Rating: 7/10 (6 December 2012)

Hollywood leftist propaganda in the beginning, where the narrative paints the Shaw as SO terrible (yes he wasn't good, but many living there at that time told me they MUCH preferred him to A$$ahollah, peace and prosperity versus violence and a collapsed economy) and goes on about the west as being ALL to blame for the situation. Never-mind the fact the west was the reason they had a developed economy in the first place. Nationalization of another companies investments is wrong. Period. The rest of the world no longer trusts you nor wants to "play" with you anymore! Then it goes on to say how good the revolution was; oh only except there was some "score settling" which was "kinda bad"... Anyway after that bit at first it was pretty great action/suspense-filled and brought back high school memories and memories of conversations I had with many Iranian students here at university who were glad to be here in the US and decided they were never going back (to live under Sharia Law). Would have liked to have seen the Mickey Mouse "Hey Iran" T-shirts, on at least one of the High-School students in the brief "news interview" scene. :-)
