The sides of Argo
- Six Americans hiding in Tehran
- A fake science fiction film
- An airport escape
Argo is good for you if…
- you like a final escape that grips you until the last second.
- you like true stories stranger than fiction.
- you like Hollywood producers joking in a crisis.
Argo is bad for you if…
- you want action. It's tension without fights.
- you need momentum. Much of it is waiting in a hidden house and meetings at the CIA.
