I believe that this film was a good film because I learned from it, the film was accurate and matched what we learned in class, and the movie itself was very captivating and interesting to watch. Watching the film in class led me to better understand the hostage crisis which took place in Tehran Iran. Although the movie was not shot in Iran they did a very good job of making it seem like it was, they also did a good job of including the Iranian culture in the film which helped me understand the crisis more.

It all seemed way too risky considering that Tony was an American who was going into Iran during a time period in which the Iranians hated the United States enough to kidnap Americans and kill whoever they wanted without probable cause. This is probably what got me on the edge of my seat during the whole film because the viewer could never predict what would happen next.

I think anyone would enjoy this film but due to mild violence and some scenes with inappropriate language I would suggest that those under 12 should hold off on watching. The plot and climax of the film were very good and I loved how intense the ending was when the Iranians were chasing after the plane that the Americans were on, I did not know if they would make it out alive because it was very
