"Gigli" is officially forgiven.

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2012)

I cannot say enough how much awesome is involved here.
Ben Affleck continues to amaze as a director with this taut, beautifully shot, and brilliantly acted slice of history as drama.
Whatever liberties were taken with the facts are excusable as the core story is maintained.
During the Iranian Revolution of 1979, 6 US Embassy employees were hidden at the Canadian Amabassador's residence for three months, until being smuggled out as part of a 'film crew'scouting locations for the titular science fiction blockbuster "Argo".
All of the performances are top notch, but John Goodman as Hollywood prosthetic make up legend John Chambers and Alan Arkin as movie producer Lester Siegel helping to carry off the con, are two standouts in a standout cast.
