Spoiler Alert.
The moment when Frank hears about Elise in the boat with Scotland Yard...I knew where the rest of the film was going to lead. In that moment, on Frank's face, was the moment that makes the film. Superb.
This film stars two actors, very present, calmly aware of each other. The two characters take their time. I enjoy watching their scenes. There is no rush. An actor's lesson.
Despite not-so-good reviews, I thought it was well made and it was an interesting story. The scenes were fast paced in action sequences yet it was balanced with the scenes between the two. The chemistry and charm were both present.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film and took to watching it again from an actor's/character's point of view from Frank Tupelo's vantage point.
