I don’t have much to say about Argo. It’s so good that it stands fine on it’s own. The Hollywood-ized telling of the 1980 secret joint CIA and Canadian rescue mission of six American fugitives in Iran. Six US diplomats manage to get out of the US Embassy during a riot (the others were taken hostage for over a year) and take cover with the Canadians. With time running out, a wild plan about a fake movie (Argo) being filmed in Iran is hatched. Send one “Canadian” guy in with the front of scouting for a sci-fi movie and return with his “Canadian” crew. It’s a crazy, brilliant idea.

Argo is an award winner for a reason. It’s a top notch, super engaging movie. Every bit of it is great, casting to production, top to bottom. Really well shot, excellently paced, just a terrific movie. Highly recommended.
