Rarely does this column deviate into the movie-review niche. “The King’s Speech” and “The Artist” were notable exceptions. Now add “Argo,” starring–and directed by–Ben Affleck. It’s very well scripted, suspenseful, historical and eerily faithful to that still-haunting, Iranian hostage-taking time–even if there was poetic license invoked in that climatic final, frantic scene. Highly recommend.
