Affleck's best movie so far.

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2015)

Argo is the third film directed by Ben Affleck, starring Ben Affleck. This movie is a ride, a thrill ride that starts the first time an image appears on screen and doesn't end even after the credits start rolling.
The movie is amazing, and it really surprised me, because I usually don't care for real life historical kind of dramas like these, but this movie had me on the edge of my seat for the vast majority of it. What Argo does so well, is it builds so much suspense without a single shot fired. Well, almost. But everything in the movie works so well: the directing by Affleck, the acting by John Goodman, Alan Arkin, Bryan Cranston and even Affleck himself is great in this one. Also, great job by every actor playing the hostages, they do something great, that without saying a single word, you can tell exactly what they're feeling by looking at their faces and body language.
Argo has great characters, amazing acting, sure-handed direction by Ben Affleck and above everything it manages to be darkly funny. It also manages to treat the subject with respect and make it easy to understand. I love it. It is the best film directed by Affleck so far. A+ FILM.
