About this movie

Career con man Roy (Ian McKellen) sets his sights on his latest mark: recently widowed Betty (Helen Mirren), worth millions. And he means to take it all. But as the two draw closer, what should have been another simple swindle takes on the ultimate stakes. Legendary actors Mirren and McKellen star together on screen for the first time in this suspenseful drama about the secrets people keep and the lies they live.

Started off well, then finished off with a convoluted ending that managed to needlessly stuff the arse of the story with a whole lot of Woke dressing. But that's cinema today, it's didactic even when it doesn't need to be.

Really these are such wonderful actors that they carry the whole thing beautifully. Yeah you can see gist of the ending coming a mile off, if not guess the details, but still an excellent movie.

Expect the unexpected. Great movie with lots of turns and twists. Engaging movie! Don't expect an action movie, rather a romantic movie with some drama and mind game. You will love it.
