Anti-Iran and racist,shows Iranians as browny raged full of hate people, putting that aside the film itself is not that great i liked the production design,none of the characters are memorable,and non of the acting is good,and Alan Arkin's role is not that good and he doesn't deserve an Oscar nomination, the fact is it deserves More than a star a three or four star but i gave it a star to lower its overall rating, comparing it to last years Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy which is another 70′s retro spy film it miserably fails, and its simple direction and story telling doesn't make it an amazing thriller either, But America and israel are having problems with Iran these days So i guess Hollywood had to deliver a film at the right time to brain wash and "" help the peace cause"".
