Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/terrorism/shooting/terrorism/torture/reference to cancer.

Lights, Cameras, Action: in summary; let's make this science fiction splendour movie Argo Directed by Lester Siegel [Alan Arkin:] a legendary director, but how can I put this nicely his best days are behind him and alongside John Chambers [John Goodman:] he is a highly talented make-up artist and will be working on this movie. But underneath this Mirage a real life situation/mission is under way CIA Officer Tony Mendez [Director of this movie Argo 2012: Ben Affleck:] came up with the concept of this mission, so under this false pretence he can hopefully rescue these American hostages and bring on home.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 120 minutes film is really, really, really ever so slow; to the point I couldn't believe that this film was only 120 minutes long; it really does affect this film in one way or another.

Action, art and comedy; we get the standard action sequences for this type of film; meaning taking of overtaking this location, to take these hostages and then later on trying to escape to get back to America. The art as it relates to the costumes and so on and so forth for both of these films; are excellent, really eye-catching and clean and tidy; for some examples; excellent comic book style, storyboards and right at the end of the film; Star Wars figurines; moving on to there are some elements of comedy such as using the title of Argo in a consistent comedy reference of colourful language.

Character developments and performances; the character developments are good well rounded versions of what they are meant to be, which the sentiment can be echoed for the performances as well as this is very much a cast performance; which is a very good thing, based on it felt like they had a lot of space to fill up in these scenes broadly speaking of course as I referred to earlier as it relates to the framework and pacing; the cast had to do the heavy lifting in this project to really generate free flowing chemistry for this film to some form of momentum.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; as I have already illustrated in one way or another this film feels incredibly long, even though it isn't in reality. Yes absolutely it does have some positives, but after everything is said and done I couldn't give any more or less than what I have already, this film also has some extra bits and pieces. This film has so many awards to its name such as 96 Winners which includes but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 2013 Oscar Best Motion Picture of the Year Grant Heslov Ben Affleck George Clooney. 156 Nominees which includes but also not limited to from the same award ceremony/event Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role Alan Arkin [I should just point out that this film won a grand total of 3 Oscars and was for a grand total of 7 Oscars.]
