Affleck does a great job directing historical events as realistic as possible. The storyline was excellent and one all should see. I thoroughly enjoy movies that teach me something about history, but often have to filter out Hollywood's biases. That does not appear to be the case with this movie. In fact, I didn't find myself crying foul until the very end, after all the credits had passed, when Carter does a short narration about the rescue effort. He actually has the gall take credit for not only this rescue, but also for the successful -- and peaceful (his words) -- return of all the Iran hostages! They could have left that bit on the cutting room floor. Oh well, just get up and leave when the credits start and you'll be pleased with this movie.
Pros great story, historical reference
Cons slow
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good Portrayal

I thought DiCaprio did a really good job portraying Hoover. I did learn some things that I was unaware of about Hoover. I hope Hollywood did not take too many liberties with the facts in making this movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Did Not Live Up to Name

from Norman, OK
The entire movie had only two decent driving scenes. Everything else was slow, boring, or did not relate to the what I thought the movie was about. I went to see this movie because it received four stars in a recent review. I was expecting an action packed blockbuster, but it did not live up!
No, I do not recommend this movie.
