Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2013)

I am not a fan of political movies and the most recent movies of Ben Afleck weren't that great. But this one got in the media very big so I had to see it. Maybe the Good will hunting actor made a hit, and yes he did.
Argo is an entertaining movie. It is very exciting and surprising. The most important reason why this movie works, is because the story is very realistic. Most people go to the airport and is afraid to go through customs, even when you haven't done a thing. So you can relate to the people in this movie.
Acting is good, story is good. Good cast! Of the people who have to be taken out of Iran, you don't get to see much, but that does not matter. I don't think this movie is overrated. To say that after wards is very easy. I know the Hurt Locker was overrated, but I don't have the same feeling about Argo. Those who have not seen this movie, it is worth watching.
