MVictorPjinsiste I will not engage on the historical fallacies of the movie, in spite of being Canadian. There's enough about that already.In fact, all of this polemics hides the fight that it's a pretty average movie right there. Sure, it was well-directed, well-acted, well-shot etc - you know, Hollywood at its best, but the history had no twist, and the suspense (represented by the apparation of women dressed in black) was minimal. It wasn't stylish and reeked of Islamophobia. In fact, the "Argo" movie they used as a pretext looked miles more interesting. Now that's a movie I would want to see.And yes, there's a couple of nice scenes here and there, but this could easily have been a direct-to-TV film - I just don't see what the hype is about. It won Oscars? Seriously?

morganstephens512 This movie addresses a subject that I feel like is not really played in the media enough compared to other events with the Iran Hostage Crisis. The movie has great acting, some good tension, a decent look at the politics at the situation, although it does mess with the events of real life a little bit for cinematic flair. This film also does help address why Jimmy Carter, while a noble man, was a terrible president that does not really deserve the praise he might get for some.

garthlotel Moves slowly. Nothing much happens. Hardly any action. Not memorable or worthy of more than one viewing. Not sure why this was so critically acclaimed. It is okay, but it's nothing spectacular. If you want an exciting political/action thriller set in a foreign land, watch 'Munich' instead.

Ali A huge error in the movie is,, in every airport in the world, if there is a problem, the control tower normally call the plane and stops it. In this movie, this is an error, as the security runs after the plane instead of the control tower ordering the plane to not take off.Otherwise excellent and very interesting movie, but despite there are some technical faults in the movie, its been nominated in Oscars for the big ones. So, that another down side that its very political and show only one side of a particular country.
