With actors like these in top form there's never a dull moment, even when the film delves into flashbacks set in the distant past.

It's an enthralling exercise but a peculiarly cerebral one -- a psychological thriller without the thrills.

The Good Liar shifts our character sympathies so fully that you'll relish the comeuppance on display, but the script telegraphs the emotional impact of this twist.

Wait for Britbox.

The Good Liar is a pleasantly playful thriller hiding a seriously shady history close to its benighted heart.

It [begins] like a good David Mamet play woven into a good Agatha Christie mystery... They undermine it all at the end of the movie... Nevertheless, wonderful performances by Helen [Mirren] and Ian [McKellen].
