Set in the late 70's early 80's the plot to "Argo" is that six Americans that are being held in "Iran" and a man named "Tony Mendez" portrayed by "Ben Affleck" who works for the C.I.A. Reviewed by: "Argo" perfectly tells the story of War and Drama. Overall, a tense thriller based on true events that were only recently detailed but does take a while for the film to get going.
It did however take a while for the film to get going but once in full motion, the tension just kept building. The introduction was informative, setting up the Iranian revolution and the current state of play in Iran. The direction was exciting with crafty camera shots, good editing and a variety of different styles being used, definitely worthy of the Academy Award for Best Director. The supporting cast were also excellent especially veterans Arkin and Cranston.
Having finally now watched this, I can tell you that this was a tense thriller! With Affleck starring and directing, you can tell he was giving his all and he was superb. I remember back at the awards season of 2012, Argo was the film to beat and I never managed to watch it. A film that I can only describe as Ben Affleck's baby, Argo is about the true story of the US embassy in Tehran, Iran being raided with 6 Americans stuck in Tehran as refugees, but it's only a matter of time before the revolution find them.
