Argo



What I liked:

  • It is an interesting and intense story based on true events.
  • Wonderful cast:  Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, John Goodman, Victor Garber, Tate Donovan, Clea DuVall, Scott McNairy, Rory Cochrane, Christopher Denham, Kerry Bishé, Kyle Chandler, Chris Messina, Zeljko Ivanek, Titus Welliver, Richard Kind, and Philip Baker Hall.
  • Affleck not only acts in it but also directed it.
  • Messina is having a Mark Duplass year!
  • The film looks old school.  The sets, the props, the wardrobe, hair and makeup, everything looked authentic.
  • Fantastic casting.  The six look just like the real deal.
  • It has a great balance of being funny, sincere, and serious.
  • Stay through the beginning of the credits to see actual photographs of these events.

What I didn't like:
  • With a huge cast like this, your favorite actor may get very little screen time.

Grade: A
