Without doubt there has beena paucity of good films this year. In fact I have said that for me the only 2 films that I have really enjoyed this year have been Chef and Roger Ebert-Life itself
As is always the case the best films are saved for the last 3 months of every year so they are fresh in the minds of those voting for Academy Awards. Finally some good films come along to catch our attention.
I saw this film yesterday with my wife. I was concerned about whether I could sit for 2 1/2 hours being but 2 weeks post knee replacement. We gave it a chance and boy was I happy.
This film is a classic thriller with so many twists at the end that it will leave everyone gasping. Suffice it to say I loved the film and was glued to the screen the entire time. Ben Affleck is very good in his role however Rosamund Pike who plays his wife is spectacular
And once again another film where Doogie Howser finds a way in. Neil Patrick Harris likewise plays a very good part
The plot is simple....
With his wife's disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it's suspected that he may not be innocent.
Not a short film either at almost 2 1/2 hours however the extra length undoubtedly was to add all of the unexpected twists. This film could have easily ended 20 minutes earlier but all in all I loved the film. Not sure where it will stand for Academy Award consideration but for me there are now three excellent films I've seen so far
This film is definitely thumbs up and not to be missed
