Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/terrorism/shooting/burning

On the day of; 30/04/1980: in a nutshell; these 6 Iranians Arabs led by Salim [Ben Turner:] an Iranians Arab man/terrorist that along with his group storm the Iranian Embassy holding 26 hostages captive for the release of other Iranians Arab. Eventually Chef Negotiator of the SAS Max Vernon [Mark Strong:] a calming individual that between them they build up a connection, but is unable to grant his demands simply based on the fact it is out of his and United Kingdom's jurisdiction, so this presents a problem for everyone involved.

The framework and pacing of this 94 minutes film is good; it is straightforward, it has a story to tell and it gets on with it.

Action/Art: they all revolves around this SAS Unit being ready to implicate this plan of attack on this Iranian Embassy or putting it into action; unit leader when it comes time is SAS Blue Team Backdoor Assault Team Leader Rusty Firmin [Jamie Bell:] basically a bit of a wild and in his private life reckless SAS Soldier. We have a tiny bit of art as it relates to these basic detailed little wooden 3-D outlay of this Iranian Embassy.

Character developments and the performances: generally speaking first of all the character developments and the performances are all good, but I now need to point out the performance of these two individuals; individually or together are the biggest asset to this project by some distance Mark Strong as Chef Negotiator of the SAS Max Vernon and as Ben Turner as Salim; they have excellent chemistry as without giving too much of this film away they have built their chemistry to the point where you can look, sense and feel they don't want to be a part of this situation, but they both have to either do their job or complete the mission, either because it is their job or/and if they don't another member of this group which is more aggressive or violent will take care of the situation, so it is very much a case of stuck between a rock and a hard place.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; as I have already referenced this film has a story to tell and get on with it. This film also has some awards accredited to its name; 1 Winner New Zealand Cinematographers Society 2017 Silver Award Features Aaron Morton. 2 Nominees both from the same award ceremony/event National Film Awards, UK 2018 National Film Award Best Actor Jamie Bell and the Breakthrough Performance Mark Strong.
