Again, an interesting film, but it doesn't really say anything I didn't already know.

I think the quote near the start of the movie from the guy on the bridge of the Nimitz sort of summed it up, when he said that the nearby patrol craft represented a threat, and it didn't really seem to occur to him, as numerous armed F-18s took off from his ship, that the guys on the patrol boat were probably saying the same thing about his craft.

But one of those vessels was several thousand miles from home, and the other one was crewed by people who could probably be home for dinner.

Both the US, and Iran, are playing a very dangerous game.
