What a pleasant surprise! A really good spy film with some gritty realism!!! The writing is great, with a complex tale involving players from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran, and mixing in current situations in those countries such as the suppression of women in Afghanistan courtesy of the resurgence of the Taliban. The night chase scene was particularly effective. And how complex the environment is in this region, such as the references to cranes and what they're used for.

The cinematography is amazing as well - both the action scenes and the scenic overviews.

And it's not just black and white, us vs them. Lots of gray to deal with.

I enjoyed it. Hope you do as well.
