A good watch for short suspense drama

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2018)

Based on real incidents of an hostage situation in Iran in 1979, Argo is an Exfil drama of how a good deception worked in favour of not just the hostages but US as a whole. The plot revolves around how a CIA agent brings home 6 US Embassy officials from their hideout in an hostile Iran.
The movie is simple and clean, with no extra action or added-thrill moments (except towards the end). A good watch for the acting and direction by the cast and crew, with Ben Affleck showing not much emotions like a typical spy. The best part is- the movie is rightly paced, keeping it short and simple for the viewer to appreciate the tactics employed.
