Give Us Your Opinion of This Movie!

My Review:

Argo is a dramatization of the 1980 joint CIA-Canadian secret operation to extract six fugitive American diplomatic personnel out of revolutionary Iran. “Argo” is the name of a fictitious movie that is being fake-produced as a cover for this operation. Ben Affleck both stars and directs – and he does an amazing job at both!  As a director, he builds the tension – I found myself holding my breath in parts – even when I knew what was going to happen.  This is a compelling movie – and quite a story – truth is always more interesting than fiction!  This will be one of the hot contenders this awards season.
