"The Good Liar" is a thriller film with a cat and mouse style. The plot trend is like an elaborate Russian doll
. Every detail in each scene deserves the audience's attention, from precise and detailed dialogue to The art on the wall, the choice of indoor wardrobes, and some indoor color schemes, these details all hint at the development of the plot
. However, although the film is full of complexity, with many flashbacks and Hitchcock-style dark plot trends, the screenwriter Jeffrey Hatcher actually did not find a suitable method to combine Nazis, sexual assault, feminism, redemption and Revenge and many other elements are cleverly integrated, and after careful consideration, it seems
that there are so many omissions , so that the film can only ask the seemingly smart characters to make incredibly stupid choices to promote the continuous development of the plot
. At the same time, although the plot makes the audience feel absurd, the acting skills of Helen Lydia Mirren and Ian McKellen are commendable. Their ability to perceive subtle changes in emotions impresses the audience, as if they are not acting, but becoming the characters themselves.

The old drama bones are not playful and aggressive. No audience will believe Helen Mirren to play a naive and deceived old woman, the key is what medicine she sells at the end of the fenugreek. TV movie quality, waste the big screen.
