Suspenseful and Satisfying

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2012)

An unbelievable look at a CIA operation by an unsung hero. While I did not myself research the history of this operation, I have put my faith in writers, and have to say, it's an amazing story. Many covert operations are ignored, and Argo gives the viewers a unique opportunity to see the inner workings of such an operation. As a movie, it was brilliant. The acting and visuals were unbelievable, and the straight building of suspense was out of control. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. There was just the right amount of humour, although, I wouldn't have minded a few more moments with our 'Hollywood' members.
The shocking moments and visuals were breathtaking, and amazingly, were copied directly from historical pictures (as shown) which I think was so creative and so striking. It really made the story 'real' and not just 'inspired by true events' like the Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Definitely stay after the credits.
