FWIW, I didn't read the book, and didn't remember the history, so I enjoyed the movie very much. I think Ben overdid the "tension" of the escape with one too many cliches, but ultimately, it worked for me. I particularly liked the foley work when they're driving through Tehran and have to slowly make it through the angry chanting crowd pounding on the side of the van.
Some really solid performances. I especially liked Bryan Cranston, John Goodman and Alan Arkin.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
