Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Micitype Pretty Good
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
rbolepdx As a movie this is a solid, dependable thriller with a really solid performance by Jon Hamm, as well as by a range of supporting players who turn in good, taunt performances. The one exception is Rosamund Pike whom is a great actor, but is ill-used. I suspect there were a number of scenes left on the editing floor.This movie will be controversial because of its depictions of Beirut, as well as lack of agency of the Lebanese people. These criticisms are valid, but at the same time it is very hard for Hollywood, let alone a Western director and writer to get the right nuance and tension of the period AND make a successful movie. To the critics, you have a point, but this is a thriller, not a documentary.If you are looking for a modern spy/espionage movie, this should be on your list. Plus I would love to see more Jon Hamm in these types of roles...well done.
abboudjean This is a very cheap action movie wannabe The director did not his job the arabic language is not even close you could've dubbed it, the location is nothing close to beirut The accessories are not from the same era, lastly please guys camels lives in the desert and beirut has no desert
TxMike My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library. It is ultra realistic, touching on worldwide terroristic events in 1972, then again some years later. In 1972 was the Palestinian attacks at the Olympics in Germany that resulted in 11 Israeli athletes being captured and killed. As per the title most of the story here takes place in Beirut, a very war-torn city. In 1972 Jon Hamm as US negotiator Mason Skiles is living happily with his wife in Beirut when a bomb and an attack kills her. He vows he will never return to Beirut.Some years later he is summoned by the government, his good friend has been kidnapped, he is to return to Beirut to negotiate his release. It gets very complicated, for several different reasons. It is a very gripping story, well made and well acted.Filmed in Morocco.
rodswain Good performances, authentic locations. Occasionally has you wondering if it is worth persevering. It is.
