Argo- five drama hearts

Directed by and starring Ben Affleck it was a fantastic film that I thoroughly enjoyed. It may not have been entirely accurate or politically correct but it was fast paced action that had me chewing my nails and shouting for the guys to get away.​

It is based on the 1980 secret rescue operation by the CIA and Canadian Ambassador to extract six escaped embassy personnel from Tehran. It was an emotionally and politically charged time and Affleck managed to bring all that to the screen with his hero, Tony Mendez, only recently publicly acknowledged for his magnificent bravery.

It won best picture oscar for good reason. ​
