Review of The Two Faces of January (2014) by Simon T — 17 Feb 2016
Superlative thriller, wonderfully acted and directed. It's 1962 and a wealthy American couple (Viggo Mortensen, terrific, and Kirsten Dunst) are befriended in Athens by a young tourist guide (Oscar Isaac, excellent).
To say more would spoil the very real pleasures of this Patricia Highsmith adaptation from first-time director Hossein Amini. Only a slightly pedestrian ending spoils things.
