Reviews

metalgear-25259 This film tries to build tension but fails. The hostage that gets killed half way is seen to be dragged onto a stretcher and blanketed but can be seen as a legless prop!? The jokey banter with the reporters almost makes the film tilt into some light hearted comedy. This really is a serious situation that didn't need this kind of humour if you wanted to maintain a tense atmosphere. The biggest disappointment is the siege itself. One SAS soldier dangles and fumbles as he's stuck on his zip rope. After what feels like a good 5mins of the film cutting back and forth to other events, a soldier on the roof eventually cuts him loose!? Surely he could have cut himself free in a matter of seconds as part of his elite training? But no we are served this fumbling mess which really drags the pace of the siege into an amateurish halt. This isn't really a thing when you see the real footage. A poor attempt at tension building which really didn't work and made the long build up even more pointless. The moment a terrorist is identified trying to escape with civilians on the stairs was resolved with an arrest and not a point blank shooting with an mp5. It's a watchable film and sets up 1980 believably enough. But what this film should have had is sadly lacking due to shoddy directing. It prefers to take you on a fumbling trip of nostalgia and sentimental after thoughts rather than elevating pace, tension and fluid action it was so gasping for.

ozgur-altan Apart from the realistic take on the military operation itself, especially liked the Cobra meeting room dialogues and Mark Strong's presence and dialogue's (add real color). The humble take with all the mistakes before, during and after the operation shows how hard it is to really perfectly apply what you practice and especially how lucky you should be to have this successful and ending.The steady stand about how to deal with terrorists originating from Iron Lady herself is quite a bit emphasized, of course it is applauded but the factor of luck mentioned above should have been included somewhere in at least one post operational dialogue. After all 17 minutes is quite a long time and it was hectic enough for the terrorists to kill most if not all of the hostages. 6 days gained by the negotiators probably tested their resolve.However, the positive impact on Margaret Thatcher's political career and also probably giving her the leverage to act as she did in the Falkland's conflict short while later (if this was an operation with 21 dead hostages she might have acted differently later on) and making her last long as she did as a political outsider trying really hard to be the 'iron lady' is something the film makes you think of. Also reading about the impact of this operation in launching SAS as a viable alternative and as a world famous regiment that can be relied on is another point the film makes you think of. Especially considering this operation came only a few days after the colossal failure of American Army, Navy and Air Force (particularly the Delta Force) in Iran.

subhashish_mishra2 Lack of execution. Could have been so much better if The reporter played by someone else and not Abbie Cornish, she successfully did a pathetic job (would be an understatement) with absolutely no acting skills whatsoever. while you wait for a dramatic scene you get to hear her reporting which totally spoils the mood to watch further.

axt-17519 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.
