A quality thriller
This is one of those movies that is aptly named as a thriller, because it truely is thrilling viewing, & extremely enjoyable. It is aparently based on a BBC mini series which I didnt see so Im unable to make a comparison with, not that it matters because it's the film we're interested in. Staring Ben Affleck & Russell Crowe, two old college room mates are brought together again when 2 seemingly unrelated murders paths cross.Its only then that the dark complex web of lies is unravelled as the film unfolds. Whether your a fan of political or conspiracy theory films or not this one is fantastic. A start studded cast including Helen Mirren and Rachel McAdams (sherlock holmes) pull it off well. Once you have watched this and I strongly reccomend you do, why not watch the mini series and have double the pleasure, Thats exactly what Im about to do too.
