Best Picture

                   Argo, winner for best film in the golden globe. It was truly magnificent. Argo is abou the American embassy in Iran was invaded by Iranian revolutionaries and several Americans are taken hostage. However, six manage to escape to the official residence of the Canadian Ambassador and the CIA is eventually ordered to get them out of the country. With few options, expert Tony Mendez devises a daring plan: to create a phony Canadian film project looking to shoot in Iran and smuggle the Americans out as its production crew. With the help of some trusted Hollywood contacts, Mendez creates the ruse and proceeds to Iran as its associate producer. However, time is running out with the Iranian security forces closing in on the truth while both his charges and the White House have grave doubts about the operation themselves.

                   This film was personally the most suspenseful film I've seen. It will be leaving you at the edge of your seat wanting more.  It may start a little slow but it starts getting bigger and bigger, and faster and faster. I loved this film and I though it deserved best picture. I would totally recommend this to many of you. I give Argo a 4.5/5

  1. Wow, you are the first person to give them a 4.5 out of 5. Many people gave them a higher rating but everyone has their own point of view. From what everybody says it must be one of the top movies of all time.
