Argo was an intense, nail-biting experience as one would expect. Do yourself a favor and don't research the historical events so that you can travel with the movie through the twists and turns. I have trouble with violence, but I felt that the few scenes were necessary for the plot. The acting was great and the scenery looked authentic. I especially liked the information and pictures of the real people and event shared at the end. Congrats Ben and crew on a great movie!
The movie had such potential with several talented actors and cameos, however the occassional one liner was not enough to leave me satisfied that I paid movie theater price for these tickets. There were some funny parts, but overall it was not the movie I was routing for.
