Jon Hamm stars as Mason Skiles, a former U.S. diplomat, who gets sent to Beirut to negotiate a swap for the release of a terrorist leader, believed to be imprisoned by Israeli secret police, in exchange for a CIA agent who has been kidnapped. Confronted by ghosts from his past, Mason faces a formidable question: Who do you trust in a world where the truth emerges only when it's convenient – or profitable? From the writer of the Bourne trilogy, this taut action thriller also stars Rosamund Pike and Dean Norris and is being hailed by critics as "tense & ever-twisting" (Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times).
In 1980s Beirut, Mason Skiles is a former U.S. diplomat who is called back into service to save a colleague from the group that is possibly responsible for his own family's death. Meanwhile, a CIA field agent who is working under cover at the American embassy is tasked with keeping Mason alive and ensuring that the mission is a success.

Impressive!A lot of spy movies are lacking the big picture and are written for a teenager who likes explosions. The screenplay here is for an adult who has an interest in Cold War politics and has seen a few movies about the CIA. Action scenes are realistic but not over done. The mix of different languages is pleasing to the ear and it’s fun to see the retro tech like a belt tracker and tracing frequencies from walkie talkies. Special thanks to the folks who put this one together. Well done!.Score: 5/5

Rosamund RulesShe's one of my top three actresses - never disappoints - from Pride & Prejudice to Gone Girl, where she performs the greatest kill scene of the last decade. Still hoping she will try to beat it!.Score: 5/5

Worth rentingI rented this when it was the iturns $0.99 rental of the week.

Better than expectedObviously not going to be one if your favorite movies but was definitely worthy watching. I’ve been disappointed quite a few times by movies with good reviews but not a lot publicity. This was not the case with this movie. Quality story line to go along with good acting. Definitely worth the rental fee for an evening at hone..Score: 4/5
