In 1982, an ex-CIA operative, notified that an old colleague has been taken hostage in Lebanon, is coerced into negotiating his friend’s release. Again, Jon Hamm proves he can single-handedly command a major Hollywood production even through the twists and turns of a Tony Gilroy-written spy thriller, although dark grainy cinematography makes keeping up with those twists a challenge. The notion of groups banning the movie for stereotyping the Lebanese as terrorists is much ado about nothing, especially since the movie is much more critical of Israeli mentality and behavior - showing how terrorism is a by-product of their politics.
