Argo(2012)- User Reviews

I go see 2-3 movies per week and I can't remember the last time (if ever) that I had my cell phone out calling people to tell them about this movie before I even left the theater. It was THAT good. I've told several people to go see this movie …more»

"Argo" is brilliant! This is how the story goes: The true story of the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis--the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades.

I enjoyed every minute of this movie. Looking back to when the Hostages were taken and being in the Military at that time, I don't think there was any Sailor or Soldier not ready to go free those Americans that were taken captive. To see this declassified …more»

I give this movie 5 stars. It was good from beginning to end. Although it is a true story, and is a drama, it has enough funny lines in it to lighten the mood. The plot of the story is well told. Your hands will be gripping the edge of your seat as …more»
