it, seemingly, came quite unfair as Ben did not get Oscar nomination for his distinguished direction

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2013)

During American hostage crisis in Iran in 1979, a 'B' grade sham sci-fi film named "Argo" was planned to rescue six US embassy employees who took refuge in the Canadian ambassador's residence. Ben Affleck, as a director, represented the political history ravishingly with his well-detailed approach. He dealt with the conflict keeping a balance as he opened his narratives remarking American's evil portion to make Iranians do this revolution. As the protagonist, Ben also seemed engaging with his life- risking efforts to exfil them in the disguise of film crews. Arkin and Goodman dazzled in their comical yet patriotic roles in support. Rest of the cast also furnished the movie with their realistic acting to enhance its credibility. Suspense aroused intensely in the script and sound-sync was subtle. However, it, seemingly, came quite unfair as Ben did not get Oscar nomination for his distinguished direction.
