Fantastic. I figured I'd find it entertaining. If anything, just for the historical significance. However, I had no idea I'd dig it as much as I did. It's the true story of a joint Canadian\American operation during the Iranian Hostage Crisis in 1980, when I was 18 years old.

It's weird to see a film discussing important historical events that took place when I was old enough to remember them vividly and care about them. The fact that it was happening when I was a high school senior made for some very timely Social Studies and History discussions. For my generation, the Iranian Hostage Crisis was a very big deal.

It was weird to revisit that time via film. A time that is still very clear in my memory. To try to put it in perspective for the 20-somethings on the board; It would be what it may be like for your generation 30 years from now when there is a film about The Arab Spring.

It's very topical now, so you'll remember it very well when you're 50 years old - while there will be 20-year-olds in your audience that will be thinking "man, that must have been a big deal at the time".

Anyway, the film is expertly handled and very interesting. Fantastic cast, acting, and depth. I'll buy this when it's released.

An easy 6 out of 6 passports.
