Argo: DVD Review
THIS week’s Oscar winner as the year’s Best Picture offers a breezy mixture of cloak-and-dagger thriller and history lesson as Ben Affleck devises a hare-brained scheme to free American embassy staff hiding out in revolutionary Tehran.
A tense, entertaining cat-and-mouse nail-biter that has a confidence and intelligence all too rare in mainstream movies. Alan Arkin and John Goodman steal the show.
Cert 15, Warner Home Video; DVD/Blu-ray release
Verdict: 5/5
