Lloyd S @Lloyd93 Apr 12 A waste of time. Boring and slow. See more Brad S. R Mar 23 In the running for one of the stupidest thrillers ever made. See more Alain E @AlainE Feb 13 The professional reviewers are angry and many of the amateurs. The movie is extremely successful four fifths of the way. Superb cinematography and well acted. The denouement is a stupid happy ending. The build up is ingenious: a repressed and frustrated accountant who audits big corporations in Manhattan, meets a high ranking executive in one of his jobs. They quickly develop a friendship and start socializing. Then the friend has to travel overseas. The last time they meet for lunch there is a mixup and the new friend gets to London with the accountant’s cellphone. The accountant has the other guy’s cell and start getting invitations for anonymous sex encounters in the high society. All of a sudden, he is not bored in the evenings! What eventually we and the accountant learn is that nothing was accidental and after the accountant falls for one of the women he meets he is blackmailed into committing a major financial transgression. The new friend was not exactly who or what he said that he was. This step by step development is well laid out. The more natural outcome would be for the mark to end up in the morgue. Here, the accountant develops supernatural ingenuity and ends up with the money and the girl (but not her name, that remains S in the credits). In a way, we the viewers are the victims of the deception mentioned in the title. By the way the situation with the final credits is getting completely out of control. Here they last almost for ten minutes. Maybe in solidarity with the protagonist there are seven accountants getting mention!

See more Carlos T 12/09/2024 Filme: A Lista – Você está Livre Hoje? Assistido: 8-12-24 Elenco: @thehughjackman @ewan_daily @michellewilliamsofficial @maggieq @natashahenstridge Modelo: #suspense Duração: 1h 47m Ano: 2008 Minha opinião: Um filme que temos Hugh Jackman como o vilão da estória. Um estelionatário profissional, que vive aplicar golpes. Wyatt (Hugh) arma para cima de Jonathan (Ewan), para roubar 20 milhões de dólares. Para isso envolve Jonatahn um cara pacato e introvertido em um Mundo de sexo anônimo. E nesse meio faz com que Jonathan se envolva com S (Michelle) por quem ele se apaixona perdidamente. Mas ela era parte da quadrilha de Wyatt e também trabalha para enganar Jonathan. Porem ela também se apaixona. Mas Wyatt para induzir Jonathan diz para ele que S esta refém dele, e com isso para tranfêrir os 20 milhões. Ao final Wyatt acha que Jonathan esta morto depois da explosão do seu apartamento. E quando Wyatt vai para Madrid para sacar o dinheiro com S, quem aparece? Jonathan. NA hora que Wyatt ia matar Joanthan, quem aparece? S e mata Wyatt, salvando ele. E no final vivem felizes para sempre. Roteiro e enredo um roteiro conhecido, a diferença que colocam uma parte sensual no filme. Todo o filme é razoável. Vale apena assistir? Sim para aqueles curioso de ver Jackman fazendo papel de vilão. Nota: 6 See more D 7 @David391 10/28/2024 Good setup then off a cliff plot wise. The love interest/triangle was insane.
