Surprisingly incoherent and boring

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is a real good recount of the events of the Iranian Embassy siege. The was not any Hollywood dramatics just a fair portrayal. It was an example of Murphy's Law ie don't fu*k with Murphy. Without doubt the SAS are not just the best of British, but the best of the best.

Not Hollywoodized at all, this was a very realistic account of the story. Very enjoyable film!

Not a bad movie. Not a strong story that keeps you hanging on but that isn't the films fault since it is telling a story so many of us in the UK will already know relatively well. What it does highlight is how poorly thought out our idea of responding to terrorism was back then, and also how much pure luck the SAS had since the operation to assault the embassy is a complete shambles in this movie - i mean seriously (spoilers) once you've detonated the roof explosive, if the terrorists were even half ready the hostages would already be dead by the time the SAS had gotten in to the building. I just hope they improved a heck of a lot since this event as all this did was make me lose all confidence they could rescue anyone with todays terrorists around. Mark Strong, he's always good. He's the kind of reliable actor that might not own the show but gives a performance every time that helps bring stability. Jamie is good too. I'm not persuaded he looks the part at all in this, but he does the job even if he's not quite right in terms of casting. The actress playing Kate Aide was a casting disaster though. So, overall a story most of us know, the SAS mystique debunked (they were bloody lucky) no cliff hangers, it carries you through, reasonable bit of theatre. 5 is a fair score imo.

It shows some issues in Iran as in Iran 98 percent are Persian people (Iranian)and 2 percent from other ethnic group which cause them many problem Why Arabs talk in Persian language But its a good movie and i really like it as movie The acting is excellent And its managed very well I really recommend it to everyone how like movies but unfortunately there is many problem there is never been a place name arabistan in Iran. Arabistan is persian name of Saudi Arabia.
