I have always been a fan of Ben Affleck's work and it has only gotten better with time. I recently watched "The Town" and "Argo". While I enjoyed The Town, I thought Argo was more meaningful and suspenseful.
I was not alive yet during the Iran hostage crisis, so I learned a little bit from this movie. The plot was interesting, the stakes were high, and it was just an enjoyable movie. Affleck did a good job with his role, and John Goodman & Alan Arkin were fun to watch.
It is a shame that the real story had to be kept secret for almost 20 years.
