Very good, informative and very well made movie.

Rating: 9/10 (26 October 2012)

The movie excellently depicts the atmosphere in the 70-s in Teheran. The documentary component was making the story real. And the character of Tony was cool. While the storyline was focused on the actual event, it would be great to learn a bit more about some life details of the six diplomats. Perhaps the adrenaline would work stronger if some of the dangerous clips were lasting a bit longer. It was all recorded in a flash kind of pace. Not enough was 'told' about the other side to be absorbed as the enemy. After the attack on the American Embassy the Americans were under scrutiny in Iran. Everybody speaking fluent English was eventually a suspect of being an American. A couple of developed Iranian characters, searching for and hunting the Americans in Iran at that time would perhaps add more flavor to the movie. Still, it was a well spent time watching Argo. It is a movie not to be missed out.
