Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSome scenes were actually filmed in Tehran secretly. The Iranian government would not allow an Israel filmmaker to film in the streets of Tehran so Yuval Adler hired a German film company who then hired a French film company to shoot scenes in Tehran and never told the citizens what it was for.
- GoofsWhen Rachel is entering Iran, at passport control the agent speaks to the agent next to him, and the captions say he's speaking in Arabic. The language of Iran is Persian (also called Farsi), which has no relationship to Arabic.
- Quotes
Farhad: The people here all have many secrets. There's too many rules in Iran. So... If uh, you want to drink, you keep it a secret. You marry a woman who is a... Yu understand. She, she had sex. You keep it secret. If you go to a party or a cultural thing too controversial, you keep it secret. You don't want to fast on Ramadan? Eat in secret. It's the way of life here. Like a second nature.
Featured review
A film that requires concentration
There are two storylines in this movie which join up at the end. Strict concentration is required to follow the story. Not a movie which you can switch off the brain.
The first ten minutes is a bit of a bore fest, however thereafter it becomes mildly intriguing. It's one of those films where you kind of enjoy it but not a movie where you decide to watch again.
For those who are complaining about the ending (no spoilers), it's open to interpretation as to what happens going forward. Another words, the story continues. It could produce a sequel.
Overall, a decent spy movie. Seen better. Seen worse.
