Can't believe this movie won an Oscar for Best Movie... there were plenty of other movies released during the year which were far better.

The outcome of the movie was predictable, the hostages looked kiddish and the entire movie looked like a playful advertisement for Hollywood and trying to gain benefit from patriotic sentiments of American audience. In this global world... the movie should have tried a little more to study the situation and show the perspective from either side rather than playing the hero and the villain.

Am a big fan of John Goodman... well good to see him... but the movie was not worth it.
