Just watched **Beirut** in theaters staring Jon Hamm. Fun movie. It was basically 2 hours of Don Draper in the Middle East brokering a hostage deal (and drinking a shit ton of alcohol). You can't go wrong with that formula.

not great to be honest. it starts off well but there's an overall lack of story in the remaining 3/4 of the film

Pretty good movie - probably better than most middle-east dramas. Other comments on here sum it up. Solid 8/10

OK thriller that is at first a little tough to follow. It helps if you have some knowledge about th time and place. In any case it is a decent thriller that is at least worth watching once but at the same time not worth lossing sleep if you don't.

A standard political thriller with more politics than thrills. Nothing in this film rises above the ordinary, except for the cast. The only reason I'm not ranking this lower is they spared me a romance, and that has to count for something.
