Argo see it

Rating: 8/10 (18 October 2012)

Ben Affleck is stoic, that is polite for devoid of emotion, in the lead role of this almost edge of your seat thriller.
If you are old enough to remember or to recall the history of US relations with Iran you'll know in 1979 the US Embassy was seized by what was described at the time as a group of Iranian students. Six Americans make it out and are given sanctuary by the Canadian Ambassador. Based on true events you know the six Americans get out of the country. But until now you don't know the almost real story of their escape. So what if the writers take liberties to heighten the suspense and danger. It's a movie.
The Hollywood back story with John Goodman and Alan Arkin is classic. The humor breaks up the tension. Affleck keeps it moving. This is the kind of movie that will build at the box office and will also be included in award season. See it.
