Review: Argo

Ever since Good Will Hunting, Ben Affleck has been at the top of the box office and has somehow seemed to top it all in one movie. The name of this movie is Argo. Argo somehow seemed to slip under the radar just like most really great movies, but still has a large audience. It is the true story of the great rescue of the six Americans hiding in Iran after the U.S. Embassy was taken over. The main character, Anthony Mendez stages a film and goes to Iran to take a look at the set and meanwhile get the Americans out. Of course it stars Ben Affleck, but it also includes other famous actors like Bryan Cranston (Drive, John Carter) and Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine, Get Smart.) Ben Affleck mixes Comedy with Drama and does an amazing job. The ending is so climactic i felt like standing up in the middle of the theatre and waving my arms. This movie was the perfect mix of everything and just the beggining of the movie was enough to give me goosebumps. Argo makes the normal movie look like the apittamy of evil. Argo gets a 9/10
