Well-made, if not totally accurate

Rating: 7/10 (8 January 2017)

I see a lot of people are unhappy about the historical accuracy of 'Argo'. As someone who knows little about the story behind this film, I feel unable to comment on if or just how inaccurate it is. What I can say though is that, as a piece of entertainment, 'Argo' is well-made and interesting.
I liked the informative start to the film - I assume that bit was accurate at least? It makes for a refreshing change to the many biographical films that give little or no background to the events that occur and instead rely on the existing knowledge of the audience.
'Argo' is a well-made and, at times, unexpectedly funny film. Historical inaccuracies aside, 'Argo' is solid is every department, with some especially impressive acting performances.
