Movie: Argo
Genre: docu-drama
Synopsis: This is a dramatization
of the real-life rescue of six Americans after the 1980 takeover of the
American Embassy in Tehran. The six
Americans escaped the embassy minutes before the takeover and have been in
hiding for months in the Canadian ambassador’s residence. Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) masterminds an
innovative plan to accomplish the rescue.
The plan is to film a fake documentary in Iran and sneak the six out as
members of the crew.
My two cents: This was a
great movie on its own. What made it even greater was that it actually
happened. Ben Affleck did a fine job
acting – as well as directing. John
Goodman does a lot of scene-stealing as the fake-producer of the
fake-documentary.
