An unspectacular movie, competently made with obligatory ridiculous plot.
It's interesting for an american movie in that it makes the Iranians the good guys. They are the victims of an unprovoked attack by the US government and respond in a more measured way than if the roles were reversed, by simply trying to apprehend the perpetrators to bring them to justice.
Equally, it's hard to sympathise with Butler's character seeing as he murdered who knows how many civilians at the nuclear facility he helped destroy. Honestly, I was rooting for his capture half the time, hoping he would pay the penalty for his crimes.
