A movie about a book has no right to be this good. Aparently, i see a pathern, child predators usually make fine directors.
Good twist and storyline, nice performances, worthy to watch...
Finally a thriller that deserves these talented actors to make good use of it! Sharp, well executed, nicely crafted, meaningful! Cool beans!
The ultimate Star Wars and James Bond crossover.
Not good not bad. A movie to watch when you don't want to see anything demanding.
Proof that you don't need action to be great. Great writing with phenomenal acting. This political thriller was a blast all the way through
Yet another movie from the early ‘10s with a twist ending. Doomed? Actually not. The twist is surprising and convincing. Whowoulda thunk it.
A good political conspiracy film from Roman Polanski. Timing of thrills and dialog is perfect. Great casting.
One of the best thrillers that I’ve ever seen!
Started out pretty good but lost me at the end! Had to read written synopsis to find out what happened!!!
