Argo
Diretto da Ben AffleckIl 4 novembre 1979, mentre la rivoluzione iraniana raggiungeva l’apice, un gruppo di militanti entra nell’Ambasciata USA in Tehran e porta via 52 ostaggi. In mezzo al caos, sei americani riescono a fuggire e si rifugiano a casa dell’Ambasciatore del Canada. Ben sapendo che si tratta solo di questione di tempo prima che i sei vangano rintracciati e molto probabilmente uccisi, Tony Mendez, un agente della CIA specialista in azioni d’infiltrazione, mette in piedi un piano rischioso per farli scappare dal paese. Per riuscire nell'operazione queste sei persone vennero fatte passare per una troupe di Hollywood impegnata a svolgere delle ricerche per un film chiamato Argo. Così riuscirono a uscire dal Paese.
Argo Ratings e Recensioni
- seaghan22 agosto 2025Great movie but downplays Canadian involvement and also makes it that the Iranians weren't totally justified in doing the right thing. Always has to be to from America's lens
- Christopher Hirsch27 gennaio 2026Excellent film. Argo, a one legged transgender transfem ((she/it/what?) goes on a voyage to Iran in the 1970s. Not-Hispanic Hispanic Ben Afleck saves the day to help some queer spies with the help of Argo. I don’t usually like musicals, but the music from this film moved me to tears. Soundtrack features Ariana Grande, Cynthia Ervo, a man who identifies as a plant, and Cher.
- Nathan Magreta27 gennaio 2026Such an intense film with great acting, an amazing director, and an unbelievable true story that it makes seem so realistic.
- lauterzero10 dicembre 2025this movie is so peak
- flavo4323 novembre 2025Argo is one of those films that proves the old saying: truth can absolutely be stranger than science fiction. Instead of high-tech gadgets or thrilling shootouts, it shines a spotlight on the quieter, more creative side of espionage—the kind that relies on planning, nerve, and a bit of Hollywood magic. The idea that the CIA orchestrates coups in one office while, next door, another team is organizing an impossible rescue of American hostages using a fake movie production is both absurd and completely true. That’s what makes the story so fascinating. Ben Affleck does a great job bringing this unlikely operation to life, balancing tension, humour, and historical detail with a steady hand. The cast, including a wonderfully sardonic Alan Arkin and John Goodman, adds heart and levity without undercutting the stakes. Argo manages to be gripping, smart, and surprisingly entertaining—a testament to how remarkable real covert work can be when stripped of cliché.
- Taneem95822 ottobre 2025One of the best movie hollywood ever produced!
- zaqcapone19 ottobre 2025Can’t believe this won best picture over Django Unchained. Great story and good movie but Django is miles better.
- Jeff14 ottobre 2025Argo is a really fun movie that, yeah, fine, it takes liberties with the source material, sure. But it does so in the interest of making a tighter, more entertaining thing. It's thrilling in the right spots but isn't afraid to occasionally remind you of the comedy inherent to this ridiculous (but at least partially true) operation.
- mickerdoo2 luglio 2025Tense, cool and creative. Incredible true story of an outlandish idea that actually worked. Stressful. Great cast and performances.
- darsan20 giugno 2025ben affleck made a great political thriller film.
- Callum31 dicembre 2024⭐⭐⭐⭐½ – Argo – Truth, tension, and perspective Argo is a superbly crafted historical thriller that proves the old saying right: truth really can be stranger than fiction. The story itself is so improbable that if it were fully invented, you’d probably call it unrealistic — which only makes its success as a film all the more impressive. That said, it’s impossible to ignore the lens through which the story is told. The film undeniably downplays Canadian involvement and frames events almost entirely from an American perspective, while also simplifying the motivations and context of the Iranian side. That doesn’t make the film bad, but it does mean it’s a dramatised retelling rather than a balanced historical account. As with many Hollywood histories, the nuance is sacrificed in favour of narrative clarity and tension. Ben Affleck anchors the film confidently, both in front of and behind the camera. His direction is tight, focused, and increasingly assured as the film progresses, building tension steadily rather than relying on bombast. Once the operation is underway, Argo becomes relentlessly gripping, even if you already know the outcome — a hallmark of excellent filmmaking. Despite its limitations, this is still essential viewing for anyone interested in modern history, political thrillers, or true stories that feel almost unbelievable. Just watch it with an awareness of what’s been emphasised — and what’s been left on the cutting-room floor. 🥃 Drink Pairing A classic Old Fashioned — restrained, purposeful, and quietly intense. A drink that reflects control under pressure rather than flash or excess.
