Last half hour is worth all the buzz

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2013)

Ben Affleck again proves he can actually make great movies with "Argo." Another one that has been critically praised, and is surely ripe for some Oscar glory.
Now I'm not going to say this ones brilliant, but it is pretty damn good. I think most people are loving it because its an original idea, funny when your not expecting it to be, and has a total edge off your seat finale. They're surprised by how good it is.
As a whole though I found it pretty straight forward. There aren't nearly enough funny moments to describe it as a comedy thriller (If such a thing even exists) and your only truly invested in the last half hour or so. Its the finale off "Argo" that works best, and is the films stand out moment. You really will be on rooting for the poor prisoners off the movie to escape in those closing scenes.
