First time director Jon Stewart brings the true story back to life by really making the audience feel as confined as the main character.

Jon Stewart's directorial debut reminds me that no matter how bad I think things are in America, we should all really count our blessings because people have it much worse dealing with a regime like Iran. Gael Garcia Benal gives an excellent performance as journalist Maziar Bahari - covering the election in Iran when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won by a landslide (in what was most certainly a rigged election). Bahari is seized shortly after and charged with being a "spy" - and the film does a great job of portraying the absurdity of a serious situation. Hopefully the former Daily Show host will continue on this path, because he started off with a bang.
