Believe the hype

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2019)

Believe the hype. Argo is a not so heavy political adaptation of no longer classified story of great magnitude. I have little knowledge on the original story, nor do I like movies with high political connotations, its not that I don't understand them, I just don't want too. However Argo is not like that, although I was a little cautious at first Argo is a fantastically gripping series of acts from start to finish. Ben Affleck deserves all the plaudits on this one, i never expected to like this one but due to his raw talent of filmmaking as well as acting he has created a masterpiece out of a little known but technical story. The end is sheer suspense. That is due to the built up scale of terror and trouble you know these victims are in. You believe these lives to be at risk and that the odds are low, edge of the seat stuff as an audience. Terrific entertainment which is just right, in every sense.
