Argo. Rated M (coarse language, mature themes and
violence). 120 minutes. Directed by Ben
Affleck. Screenplay by Chris
Terrio.
Verdict: Ben Affleck delivers an outstanding edge-of-your
seat ride.
When Iranian
revolutionaries stormed the Embassy of the United States of America in the
Iranian capital Tehran in November 1979, the world watched the hostage drama
unfold over 444 days before the 52 American hostages were finally released.
What was unknown at the time, was that as the embassy was being stormed, six
Americans escaped and sought safety in other places – notably in the home of
the Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor (Victor Garber).
