Pretty good movie. About a Newsweek reporter who gets taken as prisoner in Iran because he was interviewed by w/ "American Spy" Jason Jones of the Daily Show (who @ the time was still a Canadian Citizen fwiw). Really makes the Iranian government look like shit brains, & deserving so.

I think I wanted to like this movie more than it was actually a good movie. Went and saw the sneak preview - which was followed by an interview by Colbert of Jon Stewart and the captive.


The movie was pretty slow at times, but then again, I can just imagine how the time was for the captive. The 'Specialist' aka the torturer was fantastic.

Kudos to Jon Stewart for making this movie. Goes up a few more notches in my book.

Leave directing to directors though.
