Excited to see this movie, which is based on a Wired article written by Baghdad Country Club author Joshuah Bearman.

Toronto Film Festival: Tom Carson reviews Argo
Tom Carson reviews Argo, Ben Affleck’s take on the 1979 Iran hostage crisis:
It’s a safe bet that Ben Affleck, who directed and stars in Argo, didn’t conceive the movie as a salute to American-Canadian relations. But seeing it on my first day here in ever-lovely Toronto added an extra bounce to this nifty and suspenseful blend of Carter-era grit and La-La-Land uproariousness, since Argo does feature a heroic Canadian ambassador (Victor Garber) who successfully hid a half-dozen understandably rattled U.S. embassy employees inside his Teheran official residence, during the 1979 hostage crisis.
