Argo
By DAVID WEINER
February 19, 2013
Ben Affleck proves that The Town and Gone Baby Gone were no fluke with this engrossing, absolutely unbelievable true tale that manages to effectively balance well-earned laughs alongside moments of sheer terror. Taken from declassified government files about the real-life Iran hostage crisis that consumed headlines at the end of the turbulent '70s, Argo finds a bearded Ben playing a CIA "exfiltration" specialist who comes up with an audacious plan to extract the six Americans: devise a fake Hollywood sci-fi movie called Argo as a cover to allow a rescue team in behind enemy lines to pull it off.
