Unfortunately, like many other American movies, the scenes, people, behaviors, culture, events are full of lies and misrepresentation of reality of Iran. the movie is part of the political meddle in this country. So offensive to people and their understanding of reality!

The premise of the story is solid and believable, as well as is most of the acting. The US & UK deep states have been fracking the world over for some time already. The use of US deep state and military assets to benefit private conglomarates, the staged false extraction, the lies, etc., all that rings true.
The reason I didn't give a better rating is that there are some holes in the storytelling. Like when father and son, who are chased around Beirut by what seems to be everyone, decide to go to the rescue of the Hero's family and are seen roaming the Pyrenees, in what appears to be hours later, armed to the teeth.
Ahem! Okay, euh...how did they get there so fast? That's Marvel Universe territory.
Then, they involve the Gendarmerie Nationale as a diversion. Gendarmes arrive at the country estate where they are welcomed by UK armed henchmen. There's a confrontation and... that's the end of that. Well, in France's security context, this would be a big deal and would certainly end in a major diplomatic nightmare between France and UK. Then, poof!, The whole merry band (hero, his son, his wife & dauthers and her brother) are in Calais. They managed to cross the country in it's longest diagonal, in again what seems to be just hours, after all this kerfuffle in the South of the country, ready to be smuggled in a truck to England, just like that. I'll stop there.
Other then that, certainly watchable.
