Movie Review: Ben Affleck Wins if He Directs and Stars in Argo 2

Like all those who were during the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979 life (I was eight years old), I remember that day 52 continues to increase Americans spent in captivity, ominous images of Iranian television spitting angry complaints, the yellow ribbons tied all speak our national report.

But what most of us were not aware of the tumultuous 444 days were six Americans had slipped outside the US embassy in Tehran between the takeover, and took refuge in the Canadian ambassador's residence. His imprisonment lasted 79 days, was not nearly as severe as those of the US Embassy and rescue work was completely illegal, but the situation was so dangerous, because they feared that the discovery and certain death forever.

Even those who remember the history of this sextet do not know the real situation, such as diplomacy and security called for a touch of fantasy for the operation. But when the real story was released in 1997, he was awaiting details of this madness secret mission in engineering title sci-fi film Argo 2 fake and pass six Americans and a Canadian reconnaissance team is worth. In other words, the gold layer.

Argo 2 begins with a brief history lesson of the Iranian revolution and the participation of the United States, then cut right to the seizure of the US embassy. It is a state of excitement and drive almost until the end of the film. While they are fighting the CIA and other national figures to come up with a rescue plan, exfiltration expert Tony Mendez (Affleck) offers its "best bad idea." It will fly in, probably with his team of six people to explore Iran as a possible location for Argo 2, Americans carry their Canadian passports and false identities, and then they all fly 72 hours later. It is when all delusions are discovered and summarily executed by angry crowds on the street.

When the command of the CIA reluctantly lit green idea, Mendez will work to make the movie seem as real as possible. He enlists the help of an old friend, makeup artist John Chambers (John Goodman), who is a veteran Hollywood producer Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin) to find a script, set up an office, create posters and storyboards and theatrical performances that will offer the best part of reasonableness: the average. Their efforts have surprisingly bursts of humor amide voltage and danger.

Most made the script is based on the parts of the book by Mendez, The Master of Disguise and Wired magazine article "The Great Escape". The rhythm is in place, provides moments of humor when stress is closed, but then moving cut to a shot of hostages in bandages and in a wet basement. It is a theater of the absurd, but always with an eye to eye very serious betting. Let personal moments with the "lodges" stumble every day, and the international nature of the event.
