Kyle C Perfectly balancing tension with wackiness, this stranger-than-fiction (mostly) true story is expertly planned and executed. You don’t need to know much historical context at all to follow the story, which I very much appreciated. Ben Affleck is great as the star, but he also does a great job directing, drawing some really nice parallels and effectively building suspense. Though some of the details of the story have been embellished for the sake of the film, the spirit of the truth is fully captured and explored. There are a lot of characters but each feels real and fleshed with a lovely attention to detail. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review thiago s Filme ruim, o roteiro é ruim, o elenco é bacana, o filme parece que teve cenas desinteressantes mas nao cenas ruins, mas o filme nao trouxe uma certa relevância para o filme. Mas eu não digo que é um filme ruim. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/25 Full Review Burns B Yet another Hollywood movie that takes Canadian history and minimizes or downplays its significance for American glory. Like former President Jimmy Carter said "first of all, it’s a great drama.... The other thing that I would say was that ninety per cent of the contributions to the ideas and the consummation of the plan was Canadian. And the movie gives almost full credit to the American C.I.A." If it was just this movie, then whatever. But Canada's almost been erased out of history by this point, and that's sad considering its massive contribution to world security and safety. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Niklas L Argo strikes me as a standard Hollywood-Thriller. It is engaging and entertaining, based on a true story, yet quite different from that actual story. However, the movie left zero imprint upon me. I would have expected more from a "Best picture". Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review Andrew R It’s hard to make a political thriller this complex yet understandable. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Mr M This film is extremely overrated. Whilst it's well done with the cast and camera, there just isn't enough to keep you interested, especially for 2 hours. You care little for the six people trying to get out, as you know nothing about them. The film never makes you feel on the edge of your seat until a few minutes at the end. No use of surround sound, very little action. Average film Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
