In ruins

The Two Faces of January (2014)

 Directed by Hossein Amini this film based on the novel of the same name stars Viggo Mortensen, Kristen Dunst and Oscar Isaac. 1962, an American working as a tour guide in Greece finds himself caught up with an American con man and his wife.

 There are some minor changes between novel and film but otherwise this seems to be a fairly faithful adaptation. The plot of this film while well crafted is not especially remarkable but does a decent job of looking at greed and jealousy. Some nice locations back up the good cast making this a decent watch.

 3/5
