The Fix Movie Review: Espionage Thriller Faces Criticism for Plot and Execution
The Fix is a 142-minute geopolitical thriller starring Zachary Levi and Liam Neeson, following a Special Ops team on a covert mission in Tehran to recover $25 million hidden decades ago and rescue an Iranian dissident's daughter. Set against the 2021 Kabul evacuation and US intervention themes, the film features action sequences and political elements but has been critiqued for convoluted plotting, uneven execution, and reliance on espionage clichés. Neeson plays a minor role, while Elnaaz Norouzi appears as a key character fluent in Farsi.
