I watched for the third or fourth time.

Argo (2012)

I really really like this movie. It is not so much the suspense although it does have a beat about it. And we all know the story of the Iran hostages.

I think it is the performances. Ben Affleck who also directed, others including John Goodman and Alan Arkin.

It is fun to watch and to see how the politics of the time played out. Also how we still have the fuckers in our hair today. A safe distance is well advised.

So it is an unexpected 5 out of Netflix5. I certainly did not expect that I would want to see it again but I have. There is the same exhilaration when they, all go see it. Not for me to tell the ending again. Suspend disbelief some though.

I like at the end when they show the real people against the people who played them. Unbelievably close resemblance.
