Ben Affleck has talent. I was impressed with The Town and am even more impressed with this film. I highly doubt that directing, producing, and staring in a movie is easy. Good job Ben.
The movie kept me engaged and on edge. I can't say I want to watch it over and over again, but I am very glad that I saw it. I wasn't too sure how it would be. When it came out, I wasn't about to go to a theater to see it. I was curious though. Now I know, and it is good.
Alan Arkin and John Goodman were fabulous. They added just the right amount of comic relief. They played off each other well.
I do recommend this movie - for sure! If you don't go see it, "Argo fuck yourself".
Favorite Scene: The Read Through (hahahahaha)
