Great movie with historical insights

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2013)

It was a treat to watch the movie. I went in it because of a caching trailer. It's not always a good example of the movie involved. But it had enough to catch my attention. Historical, political, secret service, hostile environment. Some of the ingredients I like in a movie. The atmosphere of that time was captured spot on. It's nice to see so much attention was given to even the smaller details. The characters where convincing but could have used a bit more development. Especially the embassy staff. The story slow paces to a high tension convincing climax. Although the 747 chase and the assault on the airport tower where a bit overdone. I was surprised and somewhat impressed when the subtitles showed Ben Affleck as the director and even as the producer together with George Clooney. Well done gentlemen. Looking forward to the next production Ben and George.
