I actually wasn't even sure what Argo what about but when a friend suggested it, but I just went for it. I'm really glad that I did because even though I was alive during the whole Iran hostage crisis I do not recall any of this fascinating part of history (I was only 10 at the time). It's a really good story and for the most part that film tells the story well and in a way that is both interesting and entertaining. A diverse cast all deliver solid performances. As one would expect suspense with a story of this nature, the film and solid direction are successful in delivering that suspense and through it all there is just enough levity to keep it from becoming oppressive. Argo is a film worth checking out.
