Let's just say that the movie's final section is so nail-bitingly tense, thanks to a skillful combination of acting, writing and crosscutting, that it puts Affleck in the big leagues as a director.

Entertaining and suspenseful in old-fashioned ways.

Affleck himself turns in a quietly impressive movie star performance. Tony Mendez is a kind of anti-Bourne, comfortable with his anonymity, living off his wits, not his fists.

With Affleck's continued growth as a director, it makes you want to see what he will deliver next.

For 100 minutes, 'Argo' is close to flawless.
