Argo isn't a performance-driven movie but a story-driven film, but the presence of Ben Affleck, also the film's director and producer, as the lead protagonist works best because he's like George Clooney, not hogging each frame to show how well he can act but to give his dutiful services to a greatly written and directed film. There are no standouts here, and I wasn't fake canada passport expectin for any but the script is a winner and it pulls in everyone to draw out their characters well enough without over- complicating them. Alan Arkin as Lester Liegel has the film's best line and he may probably be remembered for that line only. If you catch that movie and don't know what the line is, then you can go () yourself!
