Review of The Two Faces of January (2014) by Intrippyentropy — 20 Sep 2021
You know there's a problem when every review starts out gushing about how beautiful Greece is. 3 people died in this movie. And for no good reason. Maybe just to make it more thrilling? The real problem is not the acting.
Everyone's great. But you never really know the motivations of the three main characters. You never really find out if they're good or bad. Of course they're both. But the movie does not make it clear what is causing them to act the way they do.
One scene seems to show something about their personality. But then the next scene shows just the opposite. We see anger. We see dishonesty, reactions. But we never quite see the thought process. And the last 5 minutes feels like it was prescribed by a Committee of studio executives.
