Why watch this film?
From director Bill Condon ('Chicago', 'Beauty and the Beast'), 'The Good Liar' is a traditional thriller based on the contemporary premise of online dating and frauds. It's not a particularly innovative movie in its genre, but the script is undoubtedly clever, albeit with some inconsistencies. However, it's easy to forgive any mistake for the true titans duel we have on screen: Sir Ian McKellen ('The Lord of the Rings') and Helen Mirren ('The Queen'), two veteran acting legends together for the first time in a feature film.
