Iran Hostage Crisis, Suspense, Politics, Historical

If I had to describe this film in one word: tension. Ben Affleck has created an incredibly intense by retelling an anxious and upsetting story from the not so distant past. The intensity is accentuated with fast-paced editing and cinematography. In short, I could hardly sit still in my theater seat.

It is strange to think how significant moments can fade away and become all but forgotten in time. We need films like Argo. Remembering is valuable on so many levels.
