Ben Affleck hits it in Argo...

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2012)

Not only did I like Ben Affleck's longer hair but his acting has come a long way, IMO. This was a truly edge-of-your-seat movie and the fact that it really happened was amazing. I kept thinking when those leaders in the Middle East where it took place see this movie they will be kicking themselves.
For me, this was one of those movies that kept up a good pace that didn't rely on car chases and shoot 'em ups (both of which I enjoy!). It was smartly written and acted. The gray tones of the movie kept it in character with the subject matter.
Not knowing the true story before now and seeing how incredible it was, just made it all the sweeter. An enjoyable encounter with real spys and capers. Oh and John Goodman, as usual, fit the bill as did Allan Arkin. Just liked this movie and liked that "we" did it...
