A Nutshell Review: The Alibi

[DICK STEEL · 7/10 · 29 April 2006]

A dream service for those adulterous men and women out there. A service which takes your calls, handles all potentially tense situations of private eyes and that suspecting spouse, essentially taking care of you on the side while you bang. Sounds good? I think so too, at least in a business sense.

Ray Elliot (Steve Coogan) runs such a service. It's a money spinner, based on statistics that one in 4 men stray, and one in 10 women cheat. He advertises his risk management career through word of mouth, and takes pride in his job in bailing clients out of seemingly explosive marital situations. The pre-requisites? A calm cool mind that can spin out stories and tell them with a straight face.

Lola Davis (the hot Rebecca Romijn) is his new management recruit, and without much orientation, plunges into the job head on. Initially you might think the movie will develop on the above company politics scenario, and have the two leads get involved with each other romantically. But no, before you can get to see the next fling, the movie heads on to classic crime noir territory.

On his last field job, Ray's client accidentally kills his mistress in a bout of S&M, and it's up to Ray to clear the mess up, violating one of his principles that his company doesn't provide alibis for crime. However his reputation and integrity is on the line, and he has no choice but to cover it all up.

And you'll probably wince at the amount of challenges Ray goes through in having this done, and having a price put out on his head. It's essentially one heck of a caper, as we witness how Ray Elliot schemes and plot to get his rear out of situations that's seemingly impossible, and incredibly lucky to get out of. It's full of crossings and double-crossings, and while you might be lost at certain plot points, just hang in there as all will converge for the finale, leaving you with a smirk, quite satisfied with the outcome.

What's fun in this movie is the huge ensemble cast that play the many characters on screen. Another X-Men franchise regular, James Marsden (Cyclops) is here as the inept himbo Wendell Hatch, Ray Elliot's last client, and we have a myriad of characters like hit men, gangsters, cops, an unsatisfied wife, etc from a cast of Selma Blair, James Brolin, Sam Elliot, Jaime King, John Leguizamo, Deborah Kara Unger, and the likes.

One thing's for sure, having a huge network of those whom you have deposited emotional or material help with, certainly will help bucket-loads when the time comes. If you're up for a caper, then I'd recommend The Alibi, for its fun.

This is how I imagine Frank Tashlin does neo-noir

[dima-12 · 7/10 · 16 April 2006]

THE ALIBI is a smooth, elegant, neo-noir expertly shot by guys who did pre-cog scenes in MINORITY REPORT. It is very reminiscent of Frank Tashlin's work. Tashlin was the Warner Bros. cartoonist who ended up doing vehicles for Jerry Lewis and Doris Day. While his cartoons were strongly influenced by live action cinema, his live action features had a distinctive cartoonish element.

Te same can be said for THE ALIBI which works as a very tightly knit yarn and feels as precise as a special effects sequence. This precision makes the film flow smoothly and the directors deliver Hollywood entertainment at its best.

The cast is top-notch and the attached talent is the major asset of this production.

The only major shortcoming of this feature is the complete absence of emotions and character depth. The only character fully developed is the main character and it is a shame because other characters are too flat so the story fails to emotionally resonate. The screenplay feels like the first draft and it seems that it was just a couple rewrites away from being fully developed.

This is why THE ALIBI is just a well made programmer while it seems that deep inside it possessed a much bigger potential.

A Fun Movie with Several Strange Twists

[Uriah43 · 7/10 · 13 January 2013]

A fun movie with several strange twists. Essentially, "Ray Elliott" (Steve Coogan) owns a small company which helps people set up alibis in order to continue extramarital affairs. For example, if a person who is having an affair is supposed to be in a business meeting, then all calls will be rerouted to one of Ray Elliotts assistants who will field the call and cover for the client. Naturally, this is all done for a hefty price. Unfortunately, things go wrong when a new client accidentally kills his mistress. Not only is Ray Elliott left to try to clean up the mess but he soon finds that he has a contract out on his head as well. Likewise, his former partner also has a contract out on his head and people are swarming all over the place looking for him too. At any rate, Steve Coogan performed in an outstanding manner. Likewise, Rebecca Romijn looked awesome as Ray Elliott's new employee "Lola". And while this film has some mature themes it really doesn't go overboard or push the envelope. In short, this is a good comedy which most people will probably get a kick out of.

Funny Entertainment

[claudio_carvalho · 7/10 · 28 August 2007]

The crook Ray Elliot (Steve Coogan), whose former partner Jack is under a five million dollars contract, believes in statistics and runs a risk assessment and managing business, actually a front for a company that provides alibis to adulterous people that cheat their mates. He does not accept to give alibis for crimes and he has just hired the alluring Lola (Rebecca Romijn) to be his assistant. When Wendell Hatch (James Marsden), the reckless son of his wealthy client Robert Hatch (James Brolin), accidentally kills his masochist date Heather (Jaime King) in a kinky S&M game, Ray breaks his rules to protect his own name and hire some guys to clean the bedroom and vanish the body. Sooner Ray has many problems to resolve: the police is in his tail trying to find a clue about the disappearance of Heather; her jealous Mexican-American boyfriend wishes revenge against the murderer; Wendell is upset because Ray told his father about the crime; Robert is angry and hires the hit-man Mormon (Sam Elliott) to kill Ray, but the killer is chasing Jack. When the jealous Mormon sees his wife Adelle (Selma Blair) flirting with Ray, he decides to kill him. Without any option, Ray joins his crook-friends to help him to resolve the situation.

The beginning of "The Alibi" is too fast and confused and does not develop well the relationship between Ray Elliot and Lola. However, after the death of the masochist slut, the story becomes funny and dynamic, and the final plan of Ray is messy but hilarious. The cast of this film has good actors and actresses and in the end it is a worthwhile entertainment. The most incredible, Rebecca Romijn seems to be more beautiful than ever. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Álibi" ("Alibi")

A Decent Neo-Noir-Type Comedy Thriller

[Chrysanthepop · 21 March 2008]

'The Alibi' provides enough twists and turns to make it likable and somewhat enjoyable. However, I thought it could have used a little more slickness which could have made it a real film-watching treat. Director duo Matt Checkowski and Kurt Mattila do a decent job but at times the pace really slows down and then suddenly picks up at a drastic level where it even reaches a point that the leaves the viewer confused concerning certain plot points. But just bear with it as there is some good writing, the main plot is unusual and has a neo-noir feel to it and in the end it feels entertaining. The huge impressive ensemble cast that comprises of an unusual combination of actors is fun to watch. Steve Coogan at times looks uncomfortable in his part but does an adequate job overall. Rebecca Romijn is smoking hot and easily pulls off the smart babe. Selma Blair pulls off the cute seductress. James Brolin, Sam Elliot and James Marsden are fun to watch. Deborah Kara Unger and John Leguizamo make their presence felt in briefer roles. Perhaps some of the characters could have used more development which would have given the actors more scope to bring them out. The humour is very situational and a few of the comedy are dry and just fail to trigger laughter. The film itself is very short. The makers wanted to give it a 60's feel but at the same time apply that to todays world and I think it fell somewhere in between. As I said earlier, 'The Alibi' could have done with more slickness and style, used more character development, and more comedy but overall it isn't a bad film and can be quite enjoyable on a windy day.

clever and entertaining

[blanche-2 · 7/10 · 21 July 2013]

"Lies & Alibis" is a 2006 film starring Steve Coogan, Rebecca Romijn, James Brolin, Sam Elliott, James Marsden, and John Leguizamo.

Steve Coogan plays Ray Elliot, whose former partner Jack has a $5 million contract on his life, so everybody wants to find him. Elliot runs a risk management firm on the face of it. In reality it is probably based on the real-life Alibi Network - like the real thing, Elliot's company helps wayward husbands cheat by giving them alibis, intercepting calls to the hotel where they're supposed to be staying, etc.

There are several subplots going on but the main one is that Ray helps out a client's (Brolin) son Wendell (Marsden) by allowing him to cheat on his fiancé. Wendell is supposed to be at a conference in San Francisco; instead, with faked identity showing he is Ray Elliot, he's living in up in Santa Barbara with a hot woman. Ray, as Wendall, is in San Francisco. Unfortunately, Wendell's girl is into kinky sex and, during one session, winds up dead. The cops want to speak to Ray.

I found this a funny, clever film, with the beautiful Romijn playing a new and valuable assistant of Ray's, Sam Elliot as a hit man with several wives who is after Ray's old partner, and James Brolin as a cheating husband. Leguizamo is a riot as the dead woman's boyfriend.

Lots of twists. This makes a good rental.

Could have been worse

[bowmanblue · 7/10 · 15 January 2015]

In 'The Alibi' Steve Coogan plays a 'reformed' con man who now runs a 'legitimate' business providing alibis for people when they're cheating on their partners. However, he comes unstuck when an assignment goes wrong and he's forced to cover up for a murder.

Therefore he's forced into many dangerous liaisons with gangsters, street hoods and cops if he's to get out of this (a) alive and (b) stay out of jail.

The film has all the makings of a cheeky guy Ritchie Lock Stock affair, but doesn't quite pull it off - not to say it doesn't have a go.

I love Steve Coogan just as much as the next Partridge fan, however, in The Alibi, Coogan has to play a suave, quick-thinking tough guy - a far cry from a DJ from Norwich. This is where it stumbles a bit. The Alibi isn't funny enough to be a comedy, dramatic enough to be a drama or action-packed enough to be an action flick. It sort of borrows from all genres and hopes the end result will be okay.

And it is... okay. It's not the greatest film of its kind, but it's definitely not the worst. All the pieces fit together at the end and if you can see Steve Coogan out of a knitted jumper and slugging it out with street punks in a dingy back-street American bar, then you're half way to finding some enjoyment in it.

Too fast

[pkpera · 6/10 · 15 September 2006]

I watched it on recently arrived DVD last evening. Didn't see that it played in Hungarian movie theatres at all. And I think that it is perfectly clear why it not gone in theatres. Plot is pretty good, what is not often case in last 10-20 or more years. Realization: cast: Steve Coogan maybe can act well, but his look is simple not what will pull masses in theatres, to say it nice. James Brolin was never extra actor, and here is simple pathetic. Pace: it is very hard to follow what happening - they talk too fast, scenes are too short and much people is involved in all. It stays especially for last 20 minutes - the 'hotel jeopardy' . 10-15 minutes more could solve it. It had potential to bee real good comedy/thriller. I would give it 7 because of cute Rebecca Romijn, but hmmm. , why so little role for Deborah K. Unger? - 6/10 .

Great fun

[robotball · 9/10 · 12 November 2006]

Saw this at the premiere at the AFI filmfest here in Hollywood. Crowd loved it, I had a great time. Great story, fine acting, fast paced. Keeps you going the whole way through. Very stylish. I enjoyed the feel of the film - editing, tone, camera work. Reminds me of an older style 60s thriller/comedy. Yeah, you have to pay attention to what's going on which is usually the sign of a good film. James marsden was hysterical, hope to see him doing more comedy. Would have liked to have seen more of Rebecca Romijn's character. Sam Elliot was awesome and Steve Coogan was a fantastic lead - very dry humor, I will look out for more of his films. Please see this film if you like to have a good time at the movies.

Lies Alibis - brief

[user-142-632625 · 6/10 · 29 November 2014]

Confidence yarn in new clothes. Steve Coogen's business is helping cheatin' husbands, cheatin' wives. Big money is to be made in saving adulterous marriages from divorce lawyers. Coogen has nice enterprise established to do just that, create alibis for the deceitful. When a younger client treats his rough trade girlfriend a little too rough, excuses and witnesses launch, and the stakes pile onto each other. Droll comedy rolls easily from weary, "seen it all" cynicism to tightly scripted puzzle box sting. Entire cast uniformly excellent with Sam Elliott memorable as seething Mormon hit-man. Good natured fun, with a mean edge.

Knowing when to say "when" is an underrated skill in filmmaking

[MBunge · 4/10 · 28 June 2011]

This movie is like a gigantic tangle of string. I mean gigantic like the size of a big house with a two car garage on the end of a cul de sac. At first glance, the loops and twists and turns are impressive but it's really nothing more than one long, boring strand. The sheer size of it can be overwhelming but when you think about somebody spending so much time just tangling string, you're overwhelmed by such a wretched waste. As the string tangler should have stopped after a couple of hours and found something better to do, these filmmakers needed to stop piling one plot contrivance on another and make a single one of them work well.

Let's see how far you can get into the plot of Lies and Alibis before you want to say "Enough!" and go watch an episode of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Ray Elliot (Steve Coogan) is a former con man who's found an unusual way to go straight. He runs a security firm for adulterers. When people want to cheat on their spouse, they hire Ray's company to cover up for them and provide them with airtight alibis. While in the midst of hiring the statuesque Lola (Rebecca Romijn) as a new associate, Ray is recognized by a thug (Henry Rollins) who mentions that there's a 5 million dollar contract out on Ray's old scam artist partner. Ray is then called away to deal with a client emergency and after helping the wealthy and horny Robert Hatch (James Brolin) conceal yet another affair from his wife, Ray is hired to help Hatch's son do the same. So while Wendell Hatch (James Marsden) spends the weekend at a bed and breakfast with his girlfriend, Ray pretends to be Wendell at a broker's convention to fool his wife.

Are you still with me? Well, Wendell accidentally kills his girlfriend and cajoles Ray into covering that up, which he does by calling on the thug who recognized him. That thug works for a Mormon hit-man (Sam Elliot) who then decides that Ray absolutely must help him with alibis for his murderous work, which Ray seemingly consents to while dodging the amorous advances of one of the Mormon's wives (Selma Blair). Then Ray discovers that Robert Hatch is looking to kill him to permanently cover up for his son's deadly mistake, while the police have already traced the missing girl back to Ray, who also finds himself the target of Hatch's driver (John Lequizamo), the enraged boyfriend of Wendell's now dead girlfriend. There's also a cold blooded assassin coming after the 5 million dollar contract on Ray's old partner and a bit of confusion as to whether Ray knows where his old partner is, whether he's alive or dead or even if Ray is himself his old partner. Compounding that confusion is Ray's quest to find a corpse.

And of course, Ray and Lola make googoo eyes at each other, even though she makes him look like a member of the Lollipop Guild, as Ray schemes to lure everyone involved in this whole snarl to a hotel where they can all get their just desserts.

I don't know about you but by the time it got to the Mormon assassin, I had had just about enough of this movie. It was all too much to believe, especially when Ray is always portrayed as so slick and in control that there never seems to be even the slightest bit of danger in any of it. When you wade through it all, you're left with the reality that Ray is a long, boring strand. He's not interesting and he's certainly not sympathetic. So this convoluted tale boils down to there never being any real risk for the main character and the viewer not caring even if there was.

Lies and Alibis might have found some way to work if it had focused on Ray and Lola, Ray's unusual business and one other thing. Maybe the problems posed by the Hatch's, maybe the people gunning for Ray's old partner, maybe the Mormon assassin who wants Ray to cover up his killings. Glopping them all and more into the mix doesn't work.

Unless a house-sized tangle of string sounds to you like a great idea for a tourist attraction, don't bother with this film.

What a great movie! Classy of the Oceans Eleven style

[tsmithjr · 8/10 · 27 January 2011]

My wife and I loved "Lies & Alibis" it was a terrific, sophisticated, classy movie of the "Oceans Eleven" genre.

My wife and I both had the same, singular complaint. The sound mixing was horrible. There were several occasions where the "background" music was too loud and despite repeated replays, we couldn't figure out what the character was saying.

Despite the sound problems, the movie was FANTASTIC!!! It was a confluence of many disparate lives. It was a combination of the sophisticated "Oceans Eleven" and some of the sophistication of "The Thomas Crown Affair".

The cast (Steve Coogan, Rebecca Romijn, Sam Elliot and James Marsden) were terrific. The script was flawless. It's a complex story of a confidence man who juggles many different "jobs" and all the fallout which can and/or does happen.

If you liked the many faceted manipulations of strategy in Oceans Eleven and the sophistication of The Thomas Crown Affair, you'll love "Lies & Alibis".

A bit over-paced making it a bit messy

[CineCritic2517 · 6/10 · 21 November 2006]

hail to Coogan, I loved him as Alan (ahaaa!) Partridge and I loved him again in The Alibi. All the more reason that I am regretful to say that the movie as a whole was not a winner.

I believe what ultimately went wrong in this movie is that it never tried to hide its low pretentiousness. Due to this, it relied on absurdism and parody too much which to me became a bit tedious and even confusing at times.

Rounding up all the neat clichés from the typical con-movie, The Aliby nevertheless succeeds in making it the parody it wants to be. However, it is never hilarious and demands lots of the viewers good spirits to keep it interesting. Furthermore, to add to the classic complicated scheme, the movie, though deliberate, stretches the plot beyond the limits of comprehension which again was just not funny enough to pull it off.

If Coogan had not been in it, I don't think i would have finished it.

6/10

Poor effort

[mkmorgan1978 · 1/10 · 9 February 2009]

Poor film, poor story. Listening to Steve Coogan do an American accent was cringe-worthy. About 1 minute into the film I knew it was going to be a stinker, but I persisted to the end...and was not rewarded for my persistence. The twists were obvious, the humour was poor and very much un-coogan.

I agree that most reviews of this film seem to be written to boost its popularity.

I picked this film up for £2, and it proved you get what you pay for. I'd never heard of it before buying it, and I wish I'd not bothered!

If you like Steve Coogan, you'll dislike The Alibi! Don't bother. Pick up some old Alan Partridge instead, much funnier.

"The one thing I never do is to provide alibis to cover crime"

[gradyharp · 8/10 · 12 December 2006]

So states the risk management owner of a service that creates 'cover lies' for adulterous affairs. And up to a point that statement makes Ray Elliott (Steve Coogan) seem like an honest if distorted service provider, covering the tracks with high technology so that cheating husbands can have affairs without the danger of their wives' discovery.

Smartly written by Noah Hawley and directed with style by Matt Checkowski and Kurt Mattila, LIES & ALIBIS delivers a new twist to suspense films laced with comedy yet filled with tension, murder, and all manner of underground derring-do. Ray Elliott is a smooth talker who manages to discreetly provide protection for business men who cheat on their wives using photographers to set up situations, falsifying credit cards and names and hotel room reservations, staging gifts for suspicious wives to stave off their concerns, etc. All proceeds well until Ray's primary client Robert Hatch (James Brolin) hires Ray to cover his son Wendell's (James Marsden) Santa Barbara bed and breakfast, pre-wedding escapade with a S&M girlfriend of one Hannibal (John Leguizamo) - a spree that carries out a bit too far in that the girl is dead by Wendell's inadvertent orders during the 'game'. Sam takes on the voluptuous Lola (Rebecca Romijn) as his new assistant and discovers she is as brainy as she is beautiful. He employs her to help his cover of the murder (Ray had switched IDs with Wendell in a planned alibi cover for the fling), breaking his own rules, and Lola ends up saving the day through a manner of crosses and double crosses that fling off the screen so fast that it takes powerful concentration to keep the story progress straight - just the way coordinated crime behaves! The manner in which this spree takes place involves a large cast including Jon Polito, Deborah Kara Unger, Selma Blair, Sam Elliott and a fine crew of bit players. Steve Coogan and Rebecca Romijn make the whole caper tick like a time bomb, giving the film elegance and just the right balance of noir and romance. The rapid-fire cinematography is by Enrique Chediak and the always dependable Alexandre Desplat provides the musical score (with a heavy nod to Offenbach's Barcarolle from 'Tales of Hoffman'). For an evening of fast-paced intrigue, romance, tension, and creative writing and acting, LIES & ALIBIS is a sure bet. Grady Harp

Madcap comedy of cheating husbands and wives.

[TxMike · 15 November 2020]

The movie begins with a statistic of sorts, 1 of every 4 married men cheat on their wives, 1 of every 10 women cheat on their husbands. At the end it is turned around, 3 of every 4 men are faithful, etc and maybe that's pretty good!

This movie has lots of characters portrayed by lots of good actors. My two favorites here are Steve Coogan as Ray Elliott who runs the discrete service, if a person wants to cheat and not get caught then he makes arrangements and alibis. The other is Rebecca Romijn as Lola who interviews then goes to work for Ray.

Things get heated when one client ends up with a dead girl in his bed. From that point on it is virtually impossible to describe easily where the story goes. Suffice to say it is intricate and well-woven into unexpected developments and an unexpected ending.

This is just an entertaining comedy with good actors. I watched it on Amazon streaming movies.

Interesting story, but not much else

[srdjan_veljkovic · 5/10 · 26 January 2016]

The story is interesting, both the premise and development. Sure, it's not 100% believable or consistent or devoid of problems or holes, but, it is interesting.

But, other than that, it feels like another day at the office for everyone involved. It's OK, nothing especially wrong with it, but, nothing really good or inspiring there either.

Most importantly, it's not nearly as funny as the producers wanted it to be. The attempts at being funny do make the story a little more interesting, so, the effort is not fully wasted.

If you're looking for an interesting story to see (rather than read), it's fine. Otherwise, there are much better movies of similar format.

fun situational comedy

[wrlang · 8/10 · 11 December 2006]

Lies and Alibis is about a guy who runs a risk management company that specializes in giving cheating spouses alibis. He hires a new girl to help out and they fall for each other. Some well known actors help keep the comedic situations funny. Turns out many people are looking for this guy and he has done a good job of hiding in plain sight until now. He must scramble to give himself his own alibi while taking care of the people who exposed him to his hunters. I didn't expect much from the cover or the cast, but this was actually quite a funny movie with lots of twists at the end. It's also done in relatively good taste which means its good for everyone over 13.

Awful film

[mrtnn · 1/10 · 3 February 2008]

There's a reason some films go "straight to video" instead of even making a brief attempt at theatrical release. This Steve Coogan mess is a perfect example. Let me save you ninety precious minutes of your life..skip this disaster.

Steve Coogan, Rebecca Ramos, James Marsden, John Leguizamo, Debi Mazar, James Brolin, Sam Elliott, Henry Rollins... A Great cast totally wasted on a dull, by-the-numbers plot. You have to wonder how such talented people signed on to such a weak project. One can only guess.

It's obvious most of the other comments are on solely to boost the rating of this atrocity. SKIP IT!

OK, maybe its because i know the director

[unicrnsrrl · 10/10 · 23 June 2006]

i don't know who reviewed the movie before me, but if you were actually watching the movie, you would notice that character development for the "extras" is not needed to tell the story. when the story centers on ONE character, then you only need to develop that character, and that was done quite well.

when i watched the movie at the premier in Las Vegas, every seat was filled and EVERY person in attendance loved the movie....

give this movie a chance and give it a higher rating!! although i have already seen it, i plan on spending the money to see it again once it is released in general circulation, and not only will i pay to see it again, but ill be buying the LARGE tub of popcorn when i do! it was Hilarious, a great date movie, and i recommend it to everyone.

Droll humor at its best.

[whltowhl · 8/10 · 8 March 2012]

Deftly satirical, Byzantine in plot and wonderfully acted, this film won't be for everyone. Many more twists and characters than Get Shorty, this one actually tries and succeeds in social satire. Themes? Conman trying to go straight is pursued by more temptations and murder threats than Jim Morrison. Threats to Coogan's character, Ray, are shrewdly and humorously evaded. He's assisted, somehow, by a string of mistaken identities, that left me at times amused and perplexed. But then again, I stumbled onto L&A on Indieplex and haven't seen its first third yet. And beginnings are a must. Looking forward to seeing entirety tonight on above channel!

You're wrong Tristan

[simonmars · 10/10 · 26 October 2007]

A mate of mine told me to stay away, said it was Coogan trying to shed old Alan and be 'cool.' But, being a Coogan fan, I checked it out anyway, and I have to say, it's a great film. From the get-go you get the feeling that you're in for a fun ride. Its got twists and turns that would make any farce fan sweat. Coogan isn't trying to be cool it this, he is cool! Its hard to believe its the same guy we know and love here. Its also hard to believe that it was so over-looked. With the cast it has, even without Coogan, its strange that it didn't get to theaters. I highly recommend this surprising little gem, watching it is like discovering the 3rd man or The Original Ladykillers for the first time. Well done.

This film offers fun and laughter!

[Len9876 · 9/10 · 12 August 2008]

This film is a crowd-pleaser, and a great deal of fun. In fact, there is great direction, a good story, fine acting, and just-the-right pace. It is a classy, 60's-style film to be enjoyed from beginning to end. The editing is terrific, and the timing is right on target.

James Marsden is very funny, and I hope that we see more of this comedic actor. Without any doubt, he is versatile enough to do drama. I did not see enough of Rebecca Romijn in this film. I am sure that she will, however, be cast in plenty of upcoming movies. Sam Elliot, once again, delivers a fantastic performance.

I did, of course, enjoy Sam Coogan's dry sense of humor.

I rate this film a 9 out of 10 but, with more of a storyline, this film would definitely get a 10. See this film, and you will have a fun time at the movies!

Hidden Gem!

[ubasarsahin · 8/10 · 4 May 2021]

After reading the back of the DvD, I thought this would be interesting to watch and I'm glad I gave it a shot. It's a very well-done movie. Rebecca Romijn and especially Steve Coogan is absolutely killing it here! Very solid chemistry between them. And that background music really helps you follow the story all the time 'cause you'll really need a hand for that! It's a very well-written and told story with the bunch of twists, which makes 90 mins feels like 10 mins. I'd love to watch this gem one day again!
