Tehran Review: John Abraham’s thriller is well-made but flat

John Abraham returns to the big screen with *Tehran*, a spy thriller that promises high stakes and political intrigue but only partially delivers. Directed with precision and visual flair, the film maintains a steady pace and offers well-executed action sequences. However, while the technical aspects shine, the emotional depth remains underwhelming.

Abraham plays a seasoned intelligence operative navigating a web of espionage, shifting alliances, and moral dilemmas. His performance is restrained and convincing, fitting the film’s serious tone, but the script’s lack of emotional resonance keeps the audience at arm’s length.

The movie scores in its cinematography, realistic set pieces, and a grounded portrayal of the espionage world. Yet, for a genre that thrives on tension and emotional stakes, *Tehran* feels more like a competent mission report than an edge-of-the-seat experience.
