The Good Liar

Consummate con man Roy Courtnay has set his sights on his latest mark: the recently widowed Betty McLeish, worth millions. But this time, what should have been a simple swindle escalates into a cat-and-mouse game with the ultimate stakes.

Starring Oscar winner and 3x nominee Helen Mirren, and 2x Oscar nominee Ian McKellen!
From director Bill Condon, Oscar winnining screenwriter of Gods and Monsters, and Oscar nominated screenwriter of Chicago!

“his mystery thriller is outrageous and irresistible…It features delicious performances by Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen…This movie rattles along with terrific energy…it’s actually far more daring and ambitious that you might expect.” (The Guardian)

“Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen deliver an acting duet to die for in Bill Condon’s delectably clever and civilized con-artist thriller.” (Variety)

“Teaming two knighted acting legends in the same film is inspired…it’s a revelation, and a master class in acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art at the same time. Together, they redefine rapture.” (Observer)

An aging con artist cannot believe his luck when he meets a wealthy widow and marks her as his next target. But she hides a secret of her own.
