Argo

A CIA agent turns to Hollywood to help him go undercover as a film producer in a hopeless attempt to help six Americans escape from Iran.

Based on a true story, this is easily one of the best movies of the year.  Set in the late '70's, the casting was great and the screenplay was spectacular.

The subtle humor that the characters bring to the film eases the tension while still creating a sense of realism.

The fact that this actually happened makes the story all the more unbelievable. Ben Affleck stars in and directs this film in such a way that regardless of the fact that you may already know the outcome you are still on the edge of you seat. Very well done.


**** Oscar Worthy

Rated R (for language)
