(2012) [Trailer]
Director: Ben Affleck [IMDB]
One thing the Williams brothers here at East Village Film Society like to do is watch movies... in fact... we often times watch the same ones. You may recall, if you follow the blog, that Steve reviewed Argo back in October. At the time I was in the middle of a move and couldn't get out to see this title. Well, as luck would have it, tonight I finally got to pop on this bad larry and do some damage. Giddy up.
Synopsis: The middle east is a crazy place.
Argo is a structurally sound movie and well crafted. Ben Affleck keeps proving that he's a directoral force with each release and Argo is no exception. It's a suspenseful ride and doesn't really waste too much time getting into things. The acting is all fantastic, I especially enjoyed Alan Arkin, even though he's not in it much.
The one negative for me was I knew the outcome and although it was a gripping film, you ultimately knew it was all going to work out in the end.
I don't think Argo is best movie of the year material, but it's a lot of fun and definitely worth your time.
