argo
A dramatization of the 1980 joint CIA-Canadian secret operation to extract six fugitive American diplomatic personnel out of revolutionary Iran.
I haven't seen Gone Baby Gone and The Town, but after watching this, I really want to. Argo has everything that makes a great movie. It's suspenseful and surprisingly funny. Ben Affleck and Bryan Cranston both give excellent performances. Also, John Goodman and Alan Arkin are hilarious as John Chambers and Lester Siegel, a Hollywood make-up artist and a movie producer who help Tony Mendez, played by Ben Affleck, to rescue the american hostages. But what really makes Argo so good is Affleck's stellar direction of this remarkable true story. I was on the edge of my seat when Tony and the hostages were at the airport, sneaking out of the country. "Is anybody going to get caught?" "who's gonna get shot?". I predict that Argo may receive some Best Picture and Best Director nominations at the Oscars. Ben Affleck has some serious talent, so go and check out Argo .
