Argo(2012)- User Reviews

The story was good. But I feel when you watch a movie you should get emotional attached to the characters and believe their struggle. The actors just seemed to be there, no powerful performances in this one. Not one scene stood out. Fails to deliver in …more»

I like this story arc. It matches from the news at the time (Canada a hero) and limited "leaks" to keep the real story arc alive . Maybe the two or three story arc on second war in IRAQ/Afghanistan on why we went to war should follow this same movie …more»
