Operation Argo - Anmeldelser

...en meget velbalanceret filmoplevelse, der beviser at komik sagtens kan integreres i en ellers alvorlig skildring af en berømt historisk krise.

Affleck fortæller den utrolige historie med en stilfornemmelse og en sans for temposkift, som selv garvede Hollywood-instruktører må misunde ham.

...careful, involving film that turns one of recent history’s strangest footnotes into a gripping thriller...

...a superbly crafted and darkly funny real-life political thriller, with pitch-perfect performances.

...plays like a big Hollywood movie and succeeds despite the hundreds of ways it could have failed.

Affleck does one of his soundest acting jobs – topping The Town...

Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) is an exfil expert. When people are unexpectedly caught in bad or scary situations, he gets them out.

...a terrifically entertaining thriller that’s based on a true incident that occurred in 1980 at the height of the American hostage crisis in Iran.

It is so easy to manufacture a thriller from chases and gunfire, and so very hard to fine-tune it out of exquisite timing and a plot that's so clear to us we wonder why it isn't obvious to the Iranians.

Ben Affleck's electrically suspenseful, cunningly original true-life thriller, is the rare movie that has great fun while touching a raw political nerve.

Affleck has taken an unbelievable slice of reality and miraculously improved upon the truth, and the results could hardly be more satisfying.

An old-school espionage thriller with a movie-biz comedy twist, all the better for being (almost) entirely true.
