With the guidance of Affleck's steady hand and a clear vision, Argo builds a compelling story of both courage and deceit.January 04, 2013
Affleck himself turns in a quietly impressive movie star performance. Tony Mendez is a kind of anti-Bourne, comfortable with his anonymity, living off his wits, not his fists.
