Most notable thing in Beirut is Dean Norris: as a huge fan of Breaking Bad,I knew this solid american actor as "Hank", one of the most important characters of the show.

Seeing him performing in Beirut with a wig was quite a shock, but an hilarious one, haha! I will only remember the movie for this bit.… Expand

I really wanted to like this movie for the sake of Jon Hamm and Rosamund Pyke, but I just couldn't do it. The most exciting scene is the first 10 minutes, and it is all downhill from there.

The most exciting scene is the first 10 minutes, and it is all downhill from there. The plot is garbled and boring, and it has nothing more to offer than the average movie about low-key espionage in the middle east--an outsider swoops in with limited experience, has a few drinks, and manages to solve unsolvable problems in a way that isn't at all believable. The script felt like a disappointing waste of the lead actors' talents.

The best thing about the movie, to me, was the absolutely beautiful and desolate shots of the city and people's lives there. The more interesting stories seemed to be at the edges--what were the people who stayed there doing?--rather than the center of the film's focus.… Expand

Je ne cacherais pas que la seule raison que j'ai eu de regarder ce film -ou de tenter de le regarder plutôt- c'est Rosamund Pike, la très charmante blonde... qui peut sévèrement piquer de temps en temps et avec grande conviction (cf Gone GirlJe ne cacherais pas que la seule raison que j'ai eu de regarder ce film -ou de tenter de le regarder plutôt- c'est Rosamund Pike, la très charmante blonde... qui peut sévèrement piquer de temps en temps et avec grande conviction (cf Gone Girl !)... Hélas, elle est ici cantonnée à la portion congrue, voire quasiment l'insignifiance ou la simple fairevaloir de l'autre blaireau (Jon Hamm) lequel -je ne le cache pas- ne m'a pas convaincu du tout.

Mais en dehors de ces contingences plus ou moins gênantes (déjà) c'est surtout l'histoire peu crédible, le scénario pas croyable et l'ensemble du sujet très rebutant pour ne pas dire simplement chiant et ressassé à l'envi de cette stupide (le mot est faible; très faible) guerre de religions millénaire(s) dans ce moyen-orient de cinglés...

J'en ai personnellement mais très personnellement rien mais vraiment rien à secouer, alors tout un film là-dessus et notamment sur le Liban (ancien protectorat français, c'est de l'histoire très ancienne) j'en ai rien à cirer non plus et je m'en tamponne le coquillard en force. Tout cela pour dire que ce film -qui se traîne carrément trop de toute façon- n'a aucun intérêt, ni présent, ni passé, ni futur, y compris en avance rapide de sa mère.… Expand
