ARGO

Well done. It managed to maintain a decent pace and tension. It captured the mood and character of the times quite well. Afleck has built some real street (Blvd.) cred.

I'm not inclined to fault actors much for the projects they manage to land. I understand they have to play the game and go with what's available.

That said, I was stunned by how catastrophically dangerous the SUM OF ALL FEARS is. It pounded the horrifyingly preposterous notion that nuclear weapons come with return adresses into the heads of tens of millions of people around the world. Millions of lefties and uninformed people now form their entire attitudes about foreign policy around this lunacy.

With his new cred, Afleck could reverse much if not all of this. He might even be able to advance the ball.

I'd like to know if he has a pair.
