A Feel Good CIA Movie? What?

Rating: 4/10 (10 May 2013)

Argo was relatively well directed, I'll admit, and for that reason I give it a rating of 4 rather than a 1. But what a crock of revisionist history! Ben Affleck needs desperately to read Timothy Weiner's Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA, which is based on thousands of recently declassified documents.
If Affleck ever does decide to make his way over to the library and educate himself, he'll regret having made this film, which glorifies the caustic incompetence agency, when in reality it should be shuttered for the good of people everywhere, including the United States.
A highly irresponsible film, given that the vast majority of viewers will believe that it portrays a true story.
