Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: There's a mystery here, some thrills and blood, but mostly there are beautiful people and the kind of human hunger that devours everything and everyone in sight.
Fresh: Is the film too old-school for short attention spans? Maybe. Rest assured that Amini's shuddery endgame is well worth the wait.
Fresh: Patricia Highsmith provides the plot and writer-director Hossein Amini supplies the culture in The Two Faces of January, a gripping old-school suspenser.
Rotten: The Two Faces of January feels shot too tight and cut too tight; it doesn't push forward at a bewilderingly fast pace, but its story and its performances still feel like they need more room to breathe.
Customer Reviews
It's no Talented Mr. Ripley
The performances are great and the scenery is beautiful. It really has all the elements I love. But, nothing about the plot is very unexpected or terribly interesting. It's just ok.
Brilliant film!
This cast nails it!
Flat ending
A fine thriller, but the ending was a let -down.
