MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS: GOOD LIAR #254

Career con artist Roy Courtnay (Sir Ian McKellen) can hardly believe his luck when he meets well-to-do widow Betty McLeish (Dame Helen 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.

GOOD LIAR (2019) directed by Bill Condon, written by Jeffery Hatcher, and produced by Bill Condon & Greg Yolen. This film has seen the trailer, and it made me curious enough to want to see the film.

Upon watching the only time I watched the film, I found the film to be a slow burn, which leads up to a fiery end. I also felt the film was engaging, but at the same time, I felt detached from the action as it played out, which in that initial and only viewing kept me from liking this film more.

In the End: GOOD LAIR did not live up to the expectations I had for this film. So I give this movie 3 of 5 stars.
