It's not quite true to say you know exactly what is going to happen in this thriller based on Nicholas Searle's book because the movie withholds until the end some specifics that are impossible to foresee, but enough is known from the outset to make the broader arc of this crime thriller predictable and it is just thanks to the fine performances of British acting royalty Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren, playing conman Richard and the latest victim in his sights, the wealthy widow Betty, that the plot, largely without surprises, is still so entertaining.
