You'll either love it or hate it.
I'm a fan of Matt Damon and Jude Law so this looked like an great combination for a movie. It tells the story of a young man (Damon) who pretends to be an old friend of the son of a wealthy American living in europe (Law). He fools all into buying his scam and starts enjoying a life with all the benefits of a wealthy, carefree friend.
But things start to go a little too far, and how far will he go to preserve this fake existence? So, the plot sounds interesting enough. But somehow, to me, the plot just seems a little too slow, and the characters just not quite believable. This may leave you not really caring what happens to who, or trying to figure out the plot instead of enjoying the movie. Overall, it wasn't my cup of tea. It has the ingredients of a quality movie, it's just that they're not quite mixed to my tastes, so others may enjoy the plot and pace more than I. |
