Award Wins are justified

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 2013)

This is an enthralling movie from the outset. Through the clever use of light, sound and period clothing, vehicles, etc, Argo evokes the period beautifully. The recreation of 1970s LA and Teheran is well done and completely believable. Knowing how this incident ends does not detract from the carefully built suspense as Argo draws to a conclusion. The cast in this movie is superb. Ben Affleck deserves a special mention for both his acting and his direction - he just keeps getting better. Thoroughly deserving of the awards won so far - let's hope Argo wins the Best Picture Oscar as it is far superior to all other nominees in the category.
