Great plot

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2013)

This could be another movie about Americans struggling through a mission in the middle-east. But it is not. At the beginning it displays an historical background about what led to the moment when this action occurred, which shows that at the time the Iranians were just trying to free their country from tyranny, creating an empathy with them (capitalized in the sequence where one of the hostages describes "Argo" to the airport officer).
In this movie we don't get to see spectacular acts in this movie (besides Ben Affleck), and there aren't many special effects. But it triumphs because, during most of it, there is great tension and drama, since there are many ways the plan can go wrong (again, capitalized at the airport).
I recommend it to anyone, and is, with no doubt, one of the great movies of 2012.
