Ar Go Fuck Yourself

Argo (2012)

Directed by Ben Affleck this film stars it's director as well as Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin and John Goodman. In 1979 during the Iranian revolution 6 American embassy workers manage to not be caught and held hostage like their co-workers but need a way out of Iran.

There is plenty of this film that has it's footings in what really happened but there are also plenty of departures from real events with in the story as well. The script does a good, if slightly cynical, job of crafting a taut and suspenseful escape from a dangerous situation. Probably this film is one that has been over praised but it is still a good watch if not a film that will go down as a classic.


4/5
