Unforgettable!

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2013)

When I first heard about it, I didn't even give it a second thought,largely because of the title. But then awards season came around and the hype surrounding it made me curious enough. But it took almost another year since its release for me to get a copy and see what all the fuss was about for myself and I have to say it did not disappoint. A big standing O for Mr Affleck
The events the film is based on happened nearly two decades before i was born but the film places you right in the middle of the chaos. Yes I knew I was watching a dramatisation but I felt all the emotions these people went through. And I credit Affleck's seamless direction and the brilliant cast which I have to say was spot on.
Im guessing the sensitivity of the subject drove many to give it negative reviews but I don't think Argo deserves any at all. Its not only Affleck's finest work but one of the finest films I've seen in a long time. Obviously I can not judge what was accurate and what was not but I love when a film not only entertains but also teaches you something in the process.
10 out of 10 and two thumbs up. I highly recommend this.
