The Good Liar - My Review for this Thrilling Thriller

I still have the movie in my mind.

A mysterious and exciting thriller that I just saw. I was able to read between the lies, but I admit it got me fooled a few times :)

The Good Liar

I am not sure if I would ever decide to watch it. The cover was different than the one in this picture (taken from the imdb website)

If you are wondering what this is about, two elderly people are meeting in person after their online encounter. Are they a good match; A great story is about to start!

Synopsis

Consummate con man Roy Courtnay has set his sights on his latest mark: the recently widowed Betty McLeish, worth millions. But this time, what should have been a simple swindle escalates into a cat-and-mouse game with the ultimate stakes.

My honest review

From the very first moments, The Good Liar grips you with its intrigue. There is an attraction and a great dynamic between the two lead characters. The performances of Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen instantly pull you in.

The story revolves around a con man who has his sights set on a wealthy widow (among some other things). Things take an unexpected turn as secrets begin to unravel. Just when you think you've figured it out, the plot twists in ways you won’t see coming.

This is a film that keeps you guessing until the very end.

It had nice dialogues, some comic elements that make you smile, it had amazing photography and costumes.

IMDb & my rating

IMDb users rate it at 6.7
I would rate it well around 7.5 (if not more)

I highly recommend it if you enjoy mystery and thriller movies.
