Cool to have on your watched films list, but not a prime entry.
In Beirut (2018), we follow the story of Mason Skiles, a high-profile diplomat on a quest to arrange an exchange of prisoners: terrorist Abu Rajal in exchange for US agent Cal Riley. Mason is not at his prime, especially after the events that led him to heavy-drinking and delusion. And, as expected, dealing with terrorist is not as straighforward as it might seem.
It is an enjoyable film, althought it is kinda predictable and it lacks a little more character development. But it goes to the point, and I was entertained. I was not sure what could happen in the end to Mason, even though the overall plot was predictable.
It is a thrilling film without much action scenes. It feels real, even though things happen fast.
I'd recommend this film to people who like suspense plot-wise and don't care a lot about crazy stunts and a lot of shooting.
