Argo (2012)

Newly crowned Golden Globe winner for best picture is a solid hostage rescue film, with attention to detail and credible acting. Hard to say how factual the film is compared to what actually happened. Many times the scenes felt dramatically forced in order to amp up the its suspense.

I certainly wasn’t impressed on the scale of best picture winner. Then again, I am baffled at 75% of what gets nominated for major awards. Argo was an entertaining 2 hours, with a little history lesson to boot. Nothing more.
