The Good Liar

Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen were the perfect choice to play Betty and Roy in this adaptation to the novel by Nicholas Searle. It is about a con artist (Roy) who meets a wealthy widowed women who is just looking for company. This movie turns into a dramatic filled movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat till it's shocking conclusion. Roy starts to realize that this isn't going to be an easy heist like he originally anticipated as Betty has some tricks up her sleeve as well. Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen were a smart choice for this movie as they have a successful background with these types of movies. For example, Helen Mirren has done the Red films and Fast and Furious films. Ian McKellen has done the Hobbit films and the Lord of the Rings films. I totally recommend this film for anyone who is looking for something that will mind blow you with an astonishingly clever ending.
