Plot Summary

Danny Huston (Robin Hood, Clash of the Titans) stars with Oscar®-winner Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter) in this twisting mystery-thriller of intrigue, seduction and murder. Arriving in post-WWII Rome to re-kindle his failing career, movie star and director Orson Welles is immediately captivated by a ravishing young actress (Paz Vega, Spanglish). But when her stepfather is killed by an unknown assassin, Welles and his street-wise Italian driver/bodyguard (Diego Luna, The Terminal) are plunged into Rome’s chaotic criminal underworld, where nothing is what it seems, no one can be trusted and the truth…is the deadliest illusion of all.

Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: All credit to writer-director Oliver Parker for trying to broaden his CV, but Danny Huston is a terrible bore as Welles, Paz Vega continues to be incomprehensible in English, and the murky mystery plot limps along unrewardingly. – Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: On paper this must have looked a neat idea: a wildly fictionalised account of a skid-row Orson Welles, up to his neck in political skulduggery while shooting a third-rate picture in post-war Italy. – Xan Brooks, Guardian, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: A retro pastiche that, like The Good German before it, will be of limited interest to all but the most ardent film buff. – Neil Smith, Film4, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: Like Black Magic itself, alas, this is destined to be a forgotten curio of limited appeal. – Mark Samuels, BBC.com, Jun 24, 2010
