Argo

"White-knuckle tense and less self-congratulatory than it sounds, Ben Affleck's unexpectedly comedic third feature has the vital elements to delight adult auds" 

"'Argo' is a crackerjack political thriller told with intelligence, great period detail and a surprising amount of nutty humor"

 

"Ben Affleck doesn't merely direct 'Argo', he directs the hell out of it (...) There's no doubt he's crafted one of the best movies of the year (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)" 

"'Argo' is a triumph. It has tension, sincerity, mystery, artistic responsibility, entertainment value, technical expertise, a narrative arc and a thrilling respect for the tradition of how to tell a story with minimum frills and maximum impact (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)" 

"Both spellbinding and surprisingly funny (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"
