Argo has been sweeping up awards over the past couple of months, and it seems to be the lock for Best Picture. While I do think it is a good film, it's still nothing extraordinary. Just a simple story told well, both entertaining and informative. I can see why mainstream audiences would like it. Definitely worth a watch, Affleck has become quite a solid director, even if he doesn't have much of a unique voice as a film maker. He does know how to sustain a good amount of suspense though.
