A good movie

From time to time, my wife tries to surprise me by buying some (really) random dvds and she sometimes came back with the most obscure movies you could imagine. This movie was basically one of those. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much but I was actually positively surprised. Indeed, it was a rather spellbinding thriller with only two actors (James Marsden and Scott Speedman) in a room and basically talking to each other (as a matter of fact, I have just seen ‘The Man From Earth’ with a similar structure and I really loved it so I guess I have really a weak spot for this genre). Obviously, it was adapted from a play and the cinematography was pretty cheap but I thought that both actors gave some strong performances and the dialogs, what this movie is actually about, were really strong. Out of nowhere, you have also a small cameo by the statuesque Sofia Vergara and you might wonder how she ended up here in the first place but since she doesn’t add anything to the mix, you shouldn’t pay too much attention to this. To conclude, even though it is nothing really amazing, it remains an intriguing thriller and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
