The Good Liar


Based on the novel by Nicholas Searle, Career con artist Roy Courtnay (McKellen) can hardly believe his luck when he meets well-to-do widow Betty McLeish (Mirren) online. As Betty opens her home and life to him, Roy is surprised to find himself caring about her, turning what should be a cut-and-dry swindle into the most treacherous tightrope walk of his life.

The pairing of these two actors was awesome.  Like really, really awesome.  They took what would have been a mediocre story and hooked you because of how good they played off of each other and made it into a really good suspense movie.

I would recommend people checking this out simply because of their great pairing and the fact that they definitely hook you all the way through wanting to see how it all plays out.
