Argo

Starring: Ben Affleck, John Goodman
Director: Ben Affleck
Rating: ●●●●○

Great movie. Let's start with this.
I was looking forward to see Argo and it did not disappoint me.
Argo is based on a true story about the American embassy in Iran being raided in 1979.
Ben Affleck plays a secret agent who has the duty to rescue some of the american diplomats.
While watching the movie, I was thinking how different this secret agent is compared to the imaginary 007 action hero character in Skyfall.
But this also a movie about making a movie, a science fiction one, so trendy in 1979, just like people smoking on airplanes, big glasses, mustaches, and Dire Straits and Van Halen.
Ben Affleck does a great job not just as an actor but he is starting to build a credibility as film maker after The Town.
Argo has the right pace, not too fast, not too slow building the right tension up to the end.
Well done.
Recommended.
