Hollywood was never famous for telling the truth. But Argo is just not a very good movie. It is straight-forward, predictable, with no depth at all, dull dialogs (except for very funny John Goodman and Alan Arkin), non-authentic in terms of shooting location, pseudo documentary shaky camera to increase the drama, full of stereotypes and clichés, for the most parts just pathetic, and of course with clear political message who are the bad guys (and how they look like). Nevertheless, it hides behind the quasi political engagement the fact that some movie actors are simply not good movie directors (similar to Angelina Jolie's first movie). And it shows that judgment about a movie as entertainment is mixed-up with judgement about foreign policy of the USA.
