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)
