Review of Argo (2012) by Shane Z — 26 Nov 2013
Argo based on true events, Argo chronicles the life or death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades.
On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants Storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador.
Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA "exfiltration" specialist named Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country.
A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies. the movie is directed, coproduced by and starring Ben Affleck, John Goodman, Bryan Cranston and Alan Arkin in supporting roles. this movie is so Solid, so original and a good organized piece of film making, it is pretty funny at times.
Argo is definitely one of the best films of 2012 and any year, its worth watching you'll really like it, it works like a comedy, a drama and a real story.
