    Argo (2012) - Directed by Ben Affleck



    I've heard about this one for a while and have been looking forward to it based on what I read. This is based on a true story and looks like it will be great, mainly since Affleck has been a great director.

    As the Iranian revolution reaches a boiling point, a CIA 'exfiltration' specialist concocts a risky plan to free six Americans who have found shelter at the home of the Canadian ambassador.
    Great cast too.

      Looks solid.

      Agree he is a top director. Gone Baby Gone was pretty good.

            Enjoyed this film very much, unfortunately it was so hyped up I entered the theater with unrealistic expectations. But it is certainly worth seeing.

            It was fun while it lasted...

              Enjoyable, loved the start when Affleck weaved through the office. I'd expected more comedy and Goodman.

              I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

                  Enjoyed everything up to the ending, where Affleck gave into a very cliché moment when the plane was starting to take off. After showing his chops with Gone Baby Gone and The Town, I felt having that particular moment took me out of things. I'm all for artistic license, but c'mon, did he really have to go with such a standard moment in any escape film?

                  But still it's a very good movie and he's an excellent director - I thought he should have got a best director nod with the Academy.

                    ^The hand shake? I found that part strange as well, it was incredibly cliche. But, the film was supposed to have taken place at that time, that's probably a accurate scenario. I'm sure they battled over it with Matt and whoever else gave him notes.

                    It was fun while it lasted...

                      ^I think probably the part where they are on the plane pulling away and then the bad guys break thru the gate and rush down the runway about stopping the plane. It was funny because when I went to see this in the theater someone said the exact same thing that it was a bit cliche.

                        The whole film was cliche then. it was one big throwback, was it not?

                          Bingo, it was silly to include this, as the meeting through customs was tense enough when they were trying to get through. Also, the Iranians never did this and weren't aware of the deception until a few days afterwards. I'm all for artistic license, but that moment took me out of the movie.

                          They might as well have had people walking away from the airport in slow motion with an explosion in the background. The jeeps chasing the plane just as they were taking off was silly.
