ARGO

A dramatization of the real life plot to rescue 6 American diplomatic personnel from Iran in 1980.  The integration of the CIA and Hollywood  made for an interesting mix.  Alan Arkin and John Goodman were hilarious and provided us with a memorable quote "If I'm going to make a fake movie, it's going to be a fake hit."  Ben Affleck directs himself as the star who leads the group to get himself into and the rest out of Iran.

This has a bit of history, suspense, humor and drama and comes together to create an enjoyable film.

I give this a one thumb up for Ben to continue his directing success even though the Academy thinks that the film directed itself due to the fact that Ben did not receive a Best Directing nomination but the film received a Best picture nomination.
