I watched Argo tonight. It started out good then devolved into a long drawn out Hollywood cliche. The fake tension just kept getting worse and worse. Oh no, can't get the president on the phone to approve the airline tickets until the last second. The studio agents can't get to the phone until the last ring. They're found out but apparently there is no phone in the control tower so they'll speed after a 747 in little police cars, driving behind the jet engines at 180mph during take-off.
At least it was nice to show that the whole situation started because of 26 years of a US backed dictator. It didn't stop them from demonizing the Iranian people for the remainder of the movie though.
Fake tension everywhere. 5/10
The blu-ray at least included a documentary on what really happened. It was more interesting than the movie.
