Not a film you can watch too often, though you have to love the pairing of Helen Mirren and Ian McKellan, and the twist is a doozy - the flashbacks to WW2 Germany add meat. Laurie Davidson good as young Nazi. Plus: Russell Tovey, Mark Lewis Jones, Jim Carter, Lucien Msamati (how do you pronounce this?)
Rather shabbily photographed, though, in what has since become a 'style' by Tobias Schliessler. But no problem at all with Carter Burwell's ominous score.
Written by Jeffrey Hatcher from Nicholas Searle's novel.
