LMFAO, there is some seriously LAME stuff in this movie. Afleck doesn't seem to realize the level of technology available in 1979 nor the incredible barrier between counties then. What a joke. The worst is when they are "checking in" and one second their reservations are not in the system and then - thanks to the CIA's by-a-nats-hair approval, the reservations are available the next second. WTF: no internet, remember! The U.S., at that time, had few computers, and Iran had probably almost none! The story and direction in this movie is completely stupid. I'm not 10 years old!!!

Otherwise, an OK movie, but so hyped, its not really more than a "TV movie". I can't believe its up for awards. I thought Airplane-2 was more believable, and that was a comedy!!!!
