Argo (2012) - 3 Stars

One Sentence Plot Summary: The based-on-a-true-story of a CIA plot to save six US diplomats from Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis by pretending to shoot a sci-fi film.

Cast: Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Alan Arkin.

Best of: A fun ride with plenty of edge-of-your-seat moments (many of which were added by Hollywood).
Worst of: Doesn't really stand up against other great films like you want a Best Picture winner to.

Notable: The fake studio that the CIA set up in real life received a script from Steven Spielberg in hopes that they would produce the film with him.

Also nominated: Lincoln.
