Chamber film with 2 magnificent actors. I love this genre of cinema very much, as here it is best to see what acting the actor possesses. And Jude Law shows itself perfectly, the same can be said about the game Michael Caine. Unfortunately, the story itself is trivial, the decorations of the house in which the action itself takes place are also not surprising. The film should be watched by fans of actors or the genre of chamber cinema.

This is a great movie, Very well-written script, the story is complicated, great acting, specially by Michael Caine, it had very smooth decoration with great use of lighting, so kudos to the directors. every element in this movie is well past professional.

Después de todo una película que no deja nada en que pensar sino un revuelto de palabras y "juegos" sin sentido comun, La pelicula deja un vacio ademas de ser aburrida

Obviously adapted from a play - the characters stand around and wait, doing nothing until it's their turn to talk. Probably the worst adaption from a play to a movie I've ever seen. And more importantly, as is often the case with plays (for whatever reason), the characters talk and behave completely unrealistically. Especially at the end. [EDITED TO ADD] I've never seen the old movie or the play, but I just read the synopsis of the old movie, and it the ending sounds like it makes a LOT more sense than this one. Watch that one instead.

One of those dialog heavy films that, if you enjoy conversation in film the way I do, you'll enjoy. It's not something that demands repeat viewings like a Lynch, Kubrick or Leigh film, but it'll hold your attention just for the fact that you will want to see what happens next... and how it will end. It's fun to watch Caine and Law try to "one-up" each other, as the film is pretty much a game or contest. It is almost one of those "day-in-the-life" movies (but actually takes place over two separate days). Good acting, great first and second act but, semi-weak third act. Not bad, not great.
