Review of Beirut (2018) by Brent_Marchant — 20 Apr 2018
A capably made though not overly engaging geopolitical thriller about the complexities of life in Lebanon in the 70s and 80s. While the film does its best to explain the intricacies of Lebanese politics and US relations with the Middle Eastern nation, the film unfortunately tends to get a little bogged down in its own attempts to sort them out for the viewer while telling an intelligible story.
The writing is reasonably solid, if a bit glib at times, and the performances are strong, though not especially memorable. Wait for the DVD.
