The Good Liar (2019)
Directed by Bill Condon this film based on the novel of the same name stars Ian McKellen, Helen Mirren and Russell Tovey. An ageing con artist selects another wealthy widow as his next target.
Despite all the acting talent which gamely tries to carry this film the script is a bit of a let down. The twist such as it is is obvious and undercut by a motive that is not previously foreshadowed at all. As much as I enjoy the early parts of the film the lack of pay off is a real disappointment and I'm unsure how I feel about the mean spirited ending.
3/5
