Quote:

A U.S. diplomat (Jon Hamm) flees Lebanon in 1972 after a tragic incident at his home. Ten years later, he is called back to war-torn Beirut by CIA operatives (Rosamund Pike) to negotiate for the life of a friend he left behind.

God this looks terrible! Who asked for this?

When I read the title, I thought we were going to get a decent movie about the civil war in Lebanon but this just looks ridiculous.

I saw the trailer of this movie recently. it should be a very cool action, I'd like to go on it

It looks formulaic.

OTOH, it has John Hamm and Rosamund Pike.

Thanks to this review, it only made me want to see this movie more:

It's a good movie. Not great, but not an average one either. It's definitely a political thriller, very little action, thinks it's smarter than it actually is but it's still a well done little movie, sold entire on John Hamm's performance.

3 out of 5

3/5

I think this movie could have used a better soundtrack to accent the drama and tension.
