| As much as I want to hate Ben Affleck he does a good job in that movie. |
Yes I am known to dupe myself.

Quoted:
According to the Mitrokin archives, the Iranian "students" were paid thugs hired by an agent of the USSR. Nearly replicating the same tactic used by the CIA to over throw PM Mosaddegh in the early fifties. |
Same for me. He's easily a better actor than Matt Damon. The only issue I have with Argo is that they had to throw in that stupid, totally fictionalized ending. If the Iranians had discovered that the hostages had made it onto the commercial jetliner (as the movie falsely depicts), it would have never gotten off the ground. Total BS ending. That did not happen. Another possible issue is the phone call the Iranian guard made to confirm the identity of Afflect's movie studio ties. I'm not 100% sure about that one, but, highly doubt that it happened with the phone ringing and them almost missing answering the call.  This movie could have been much, much better without the added fictionalized BS to increase the dramatization, which did nothing but do the opposite for me. It was a good movie without the added crap.
