First of all, I really enjoyed the movie, despite the fact they showed Iranians very bad, hostile people. I feel sorry about the Iranians who are watching this movie, it should be very sad to see how the billion dollar movie industry in US can show any country whatever they want. I know this because another movie (Taken 2) showed Turkey as a 3rd world country with all the women covered and the streets like hell.

They never showed any single educated Iranian, their arts, etc. All of the Iranians were angry people except the housekeeper.

I don't know the actual history behind this movie but the acting was good, I am very surprised to see Ben Affleck as a very good acting in this movie.

The story evolved very nice keeping the tension up until the plane passes over Iranian air border. I was thrilled until the last 5 minutes.

John Goodman and Alan Arkin added a nice taste to this movie but their part was not that long.

I took 3 stars out because, this movie is full of propaganda. But still it is a watchable movie and I don't think it deserves any Oscar since this movie is made because of the propaganda reason. I don't agree with people who gave this movie only 1 star because it is a propaganda, you need to be objective although the people who produced this movie were not!
