Interesting casting choice! Liam Neeson is always great in these action roles. Hope they portray Iran and its people with nuance rather than just going for the typical Hollywood villain treatment. The journalist character sounds promising 🤞

As an Indian viewer, I'm tired of seeing Middle Eastern countries always shown as war zones in Hollywood films. Hope this offers something fresh! The women's rights angle could be powerful if handled well. Also - Zachary Levi is underrated, glad to see him in more action roles!

The plot sounds similar to Argo but with more action. Not complaining though! 😄 Hope they show some authentic Iranian culture too - the food, architecture etc. rather than just gunfights. Also wondering if any Indian theaters will get this - we usually get these thrillers late.

The former CIA officer as writer gives me hope for authenticity. But please don't make it another "white savior" story! The Iranian female lead should have equal importance. Also hoping for subtitles when they speak Farsi - hate when foreign languages aren't translated properly.

Not familiar with Lara Wolf but she's worked with Anthony Hopkins? That's impressive credentials. The premise sounds intense - 5 years in prison is no joke. Wonder if they'll show the psychological trauma realistically. Indian cinema could learn from how Hollywood handles such serious subjects.

Hope this doesn't become political propaganda. As Indians we know how Western media often misrepresents Asian countries. That said, Liam Neeson at 72 still doing action movies is goals! 🙌 The man is unstoppable. Will wait for reviews before booking tickets though.
