The Two Faces of January


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Tyler

Well it's no Talented Mr. Ripley but it was still a good watch. A similar period and exotic setting, but certainly a smaller scale. It's a slow burn thriller with a lot of jealous looks, mistrust and general shady affairs.

The cast are all fine, but the script and direction were pretty standard. The music carried much of the film. It's a great throwback hitchcockian score, but it doesn't let up much. Theres some enjoyment to be had here but I don't think they got as much out of the source material as they could have.
