We enjoyed this thriller about a con man trying to snare a rich widow, and, with Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren as the leads, we weren't disappointed. Jim Carter appears as McKellen's accomplice.
Bill Condon directs from Jeffrey Hatcher's adaptation of Nicholas Searle's 2017 novel.
Carter Burwell's score can be streamed on Spotify, can be bought a several outlets, but is not included with my Apple Music subscription.
McKellen and Condon were last blogged for Beauty and the Beast, Mirren for The Leisure Seeker, and Burwell for The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Carter is best known as Mr. Carson in Downton Abbey, the movie as well as 52 episodes of the Masterpiece Theatre series.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics are not as thrilled as Jack and I were, averaging a scant 66%, but its audiences are more satisfied, coming in at 85. The movie's estimated DVD release is February 2020.
