- Quotes
Masked Interrogator: I once sat in a chair very similar to the one you're in. Now that the tables have turned, why should I have mercy on you?
Isaac: Because I have nothing to do with the people who caused you pain.
Masked Interrogator: Oh, but you do. You look the other way.
Isaac: Yes, you're right about that. I.. I was blind. I recognize that now. But, please, brother, if you say that you sat in the same chair as me, then you must know my fear. And more than that, my despair at never seeing my family again.
Masked Interrogator: I not only know your fear, i can smell it. Afraid I've gotten addicted to it.
Isaac: Than you are as much a prisoner today as I am. Your mercy may liberate me from these walls, but more than that, it will save you from yourself.

The movie was well made and well acted. It has a very good script and that fact alone makes for a good movie. It has thrills, tension, and suspense. It is emotional as anyone watching the movie will recognize the brutality against fellow humans and remind people to be wary of dictatorships be they a Shah or a religious figure. Hatred is hatred by anyone. The movie provides a better insight into the current Iran.
Watch the movie if not for the history lesson, then because it is a good movie. Above standard at any measure.
