During the Iranian revolution 6 hostages were hiding out in the basement of the Canadian Ambassador. The US Government worked to get them out and called in CIA Extraction Specialist Tony Mendez. The most fascinating part about this trailer, is it is based on a true story, and what an interesting one it is. Looks like a cool period piece that is pretty damned serious but some moments of humor emerge in the "Hollywood exchanges." Must say, Ben Affleck could be proving himself to be a pretty solid director…well done, sir.

This looks fantastic! I like how they used music that was played during the period.

Sweet I've been down with anything Affleck is involved with since Gone Baby Gone. Solid cast around it to could be good.

Definitely looking forward to this. It's an interesting point in American history and I like the idea of this untold story being told. Let's see how Affleck can handle it.

Remember when Ben Affleck was a joke?  How do you go from shit like Reindeer Games, Daredevil, and Jersey Girl to awesome stuff Gone Baby Gone and Then Town?

Easy. Knowing where your true talent lies. Ben Affleck is an excellent director. I haven't seen Gone Baby Gone, but The Town was amazing.

His last two were stunning, but I think there's a bit too much going on here to make for an easy trailer. Looking forward to the movie.

I want nothing more than for Ben Affleck to succeed, and I really liked Gone Baby Gone and I flat out loved The Town, so I really hope that this one is a huge hit too because to me you need to have at least three great movies under your belt to be considered a fantastic director, and luckily this looks like it will be number three.

Looks pretty awesome. I unabashedly loved The Town, so I'm way on board for this. Ben Affleck has really turned his career around, and I'm rooting for him.

The town wasn't too bad. This one might be good. Dunno if it's day one. But still good.

The Town was the first film I actually really enjoyed Affleck in. So I'm interested.

I've followed Affleck through the thick and the thin. I'll continue to follow.

Also, fuck the haters. Phantoms was fun, and while I know Daredevil is a bad movie, I am still somehow entertained by it.

Eh I really like Affleck but wasn't a fan of the Town but his movie looks like something that I could get behind

I enjoyed both Gone Baby Gone and The Town, so I hope this one will be good, too.
