Two Thumbs up!!!

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2013)

Ben Affleck is high up there as a film director. Once again he rocks with ARGO based on a true story... with a few twists. Ben Affleck plays a CIA agent commissioned to rescue six US entrapped Embassy staff in Iran who managed to fled and hide in the house of Canadian Ambassador - after militants storm the US Embassy in Tehran and take more than 50 of the embassy staff as hostages. Tony Mendez (played by Ben Affleck), a special CIA agent is brought in for consultation, and resists all proposed plans. Mendez hatches a plan to create a cover story that the six Americans who escaped belong to a Canadian film crew, scouting "exotic" locations in Iran for a sci-fi film. A must see!
