ARGO [2012]

With two great films under his director's belt, Ben Affleck proves that he didn't just get lucky with the old school styled thriller Argo.  Based on the events of the Canadian Caper, Affleck wisely decides to lighten the mood a  bit compared to his previous films with some dark humour while never sacrificing the tension he does so well at building up.  Acting more like a thriller from the era the story takes place in, Argo hits you with story & character development rather than flashy, loud edits and sound.
It's get some of it's facts wrong but in the end it doesn't matter, as it keeps you gripped to your seat with excitement and intrigue.
