Argo (2012)

Rating: 95%
So last week my mother and I went to see Argo. So here's my review for it.

Plot: In November 4, 1979, a group of militants storm the U.S. Embassy in Tehran capturing all but six people there. The six that escaped take refuge at the home of a Canadian ambassador. The State Department tries to figure out a way to save the hostages, so a CIA specialist named Tony Mendez comes up with an idea to make a cover story saying that the six that escaped are Canadian filmmakers working on a sci-fi movie called Argo, using it to try to get them to escape Iran.

Wow. If I could describe this movie in one word, that would be it. It's dramatic, it's suspenseful it's even funny at some points. And I liked how similar to the actual people they made the actors look and with how they brought up some of the stuff from that time such as the yellow ribbons all over America. Cause that's the thing, when my mom and I were watching this, she told me how the whole things was a super huge deal back then when she was only 11 with the ribbons and everything. She wondered about what was the whole deal about these six people escaping and stuff like that, and with the whole operation declassified and this movie made on top of that, now she can finally know. Which is part of why this movie is good. If you lived from that time and always wanted to know more about that whole deal, here's the movie for you, prepare to feel the suspense. And you WILL feel the suspense. But if there's one real reason why I rated then a 95% instead of  100%, it would be that they might have focused on those people a little too much. They mention the other people that were captured a little bit in the beginning, but after that, they were barley mentioned to the point where I completely forgot about them until on the way home from the movie. I completely get that the six where the main focus of the film since they're mainly what the movie's about, but I still feel like it would've been nice to mention them more.

And that's my review for Argo. It was an excellent movie that leaves you very much at the edge of your seat with extremely well acted drama and suspense that is easily a film that you can enjoy without a doubt.
