    This is the best looking spy flick you will ever see.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5
    Excellent and enjoyable action flick with high body count - think Korean Nikita.
  • Shirin (2008)
    Review preview for Shirin

    There's a powerful idea at the heart of Shirin, and it's unfortunate that it found expression in the form of a feature film.

    An experimental retelling of a classic Persian tragedy.
  • Shirin (2012)
