"A GOOD LIAR" — it is very uneven, overlong, but in General, a good Thriller with elements of detective. To painting, I have issues and complaints but also what I loved it.
Now I still explain your opinion in more detail and clear and point the pros/cons of this film.
1. The script
The problems start from here.
The thing that all promos, trailers and in the original synopsis, the Studio itself has merged all the desired twists. Distributors have merged what was supposed to catch. But but why? I he is not know...
The story tells us about the professional swindler-the swindler Roy Courtney, who meets a woman the name Betty. As always trying to breed humans, but that's so. And around this is built the further events. That's how much you need to tell, so as not to spoil your viewing.
I personally, after watching all the possible promo, went to the movie was waiting for an "unexpected" development Betty Macleish. I wanted to know what same will happen. And was that the creators we just in the very first trailer leaked final twist. Than they thought and followed this time?
And Yes, the final score... not only that it leaked, so it put so much information not was half of the entire duration of the film. Then we 've been showing all the relations between the characters, unexpected details of life to the result finale was either nafig unnecessary, or I automatically had a question — why? Honestly, the ending to me do not like it. Not like when I the whole point and idea of the film tell end 10-15 minutes. And what if the rest of the hour with the extra?
But despite all of this, the story itself is really good. Sometimes lengthy, periods devoid of logic and explanation, but still interesting.
But with characters like no problem. The focus here in mainly the main characters, so they only revealed here. From each has a backstory, and each has certain motivations.
Roy Courtnay — more negative character than a positive one. He makes a sharp action, is arrogant and improvident. Yes he makes mistakes where a normal person would never done.
As for Betty McLeish, the character mainly revealing themselves closer to the end of the tape. Yes what there — it was revealed in 10-15 minutes.
In other words... the Plot is interesting, but covered with a bad ending. The main characters with a certain background, make mistakes, incomprehensible actions, but they disclosed well and is quite understandable. To sum up, scenario — strong average on one time. Nothing wrong with that, but and there is nothing outstanding there.
2. Actors
Perhaps the eye reason for watching the film. Again, will only affect those who performs the main role.
On-screen Duo Mirren/Machelen flawless. They excellent overcame on the screen together. Each plays very convincingly, and also creates a certain ambiance.
And Helen Mirren to the same finally got this character. &Nbsp;yeah, she was that to do. If the viewer does not would know the final twist with the beginning, because of her the game the ending could do the unexpected.
More nothing to add...
3. The atmosphere
Here, too, much difficulty does not arise.
It is assembled on a cliché. Absolutely classic entourage of a detective Thriller. The audience "experiences" for the character, periods of stress is created, and in the end should be a super unexpected turn, from which people have to wonder.
Nothing new. But if it works, then everything is fine.
We can say that I have that bad. well, maybe so. But I compare and tell what saw. Me it is caught, I was interesting, but is comparable to any classic detective story. It is the if you expect originality in this regard.
In General:
"THE GOOD LIAR" — problem movie. With plot holes, illogical and unnecessary action heroes. To the same from the beginning, predictable, clichéd and overlong. The atmosphere of the classical detective story. And there are the actors, of course, pleased. Amazing performance of their roles! If we go to this one-off Thriller, then for Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen. Seriously, the Duo turned out great.
Film me is more like it. But personal impressions of the left me with little. This is a typical average disposable film with an entertaining plot. Nevadalas work, but once it will come down.
In short... If you want to watch something in the movie love thrillers, you can evaluate. But still suggest to consider choice, t it now the box has movies much better.
