Good movie, though with some criticism.

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2013)

Good movie in general. Ben Affleck did a good job. Quite tight plot with good cinematography and great performances. When at the end, they showed the actors, beside the photos of real people they have portrayed, I was quite amazed by the similarity. Goodman and Arkin provided the light and humorous side of the movie.
My criticism here is pointed towards the "artificial suspense" that the movie creates in several occasions. My point here is that if you have a bomb countdown, the usual Hollywood trick to create suspense is to stop the bomb at the deadline. Argo had several such moments. sometimes it felt fit and sometimes artificial, dragging time just to make suspense. Which on the other hand "stole" time from the rescue operation and put some of its elements to the background.
