Argo

Argo looks set to be the political thriller not to miss in 2012 as the new movie from Ben Affleck hits the big screen later this year.

Yes Affleck is back in the director's chair for the first time since he wowed audiences and critics with The Town.

And while Gone Baby Gone and The Town really announced him as a filmmaker Argo looks set to cement him as one of the most exciting director around.

The film has already been receiving plenty of support of the festival circuit and it is already being talked about as one of the possible Oscar contenders.

Affleck also stars in the movie and he is joined on the cast list by Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin and John Goodman - to name but a few.

The movie follows a CIA 'exfiltration' specialist who concocts a risky plan to free six Americans who have found shelter at the home of the Canadian ambassador in Iran.

Argo is released 7th November
