Argo


The CIA attempts to rescue diplomats from Iran under the guise of shooting a science fiction film in this movie directed by Ben Affleck. Using a muted color palette, editing that seamlessly blends period footage with modern recreations, and cinematography that is reminiscent of such '70's classics as The French Connection and All The President's Men; Affleck subtly crafted a tense, thrilling and stylishly constructed film filled with political intrigue. It's cliche to say, but I was on the edge of my seat through the entire film even though I knew the ultimate outcome. Argo will probably take home the statuette for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
