The Good Liar
In London, Roy (Ian McKellen) meets Betty (Helen Mirren) through an online dating site. It’s a playful first date which feels like we may be watching a geriatric rom/com. However, the story turns more sinister as Roy is revealed to be a career con artist bilking unsuspecting people out of huge sums of money. Now, he sets his eyes on his next easy mark, Betty. McKellen & Mirren never disappoint with their perfect character performances. While I️ did enjoy seeing these two play off each other, I️ felt the script wasn’t quite clever enough for the caliber of these two exceptional actors. While it isn’t difficult to anticipate the outcome but it is much harder to reason the how & why. Still, these two outstanding actors will capture your attention & focus.
Alien gives it 3 “Berlin” stars out of 4.
