The ending is worth the price of the movie ticket! Such a thing as Karma and one of the main characters got that served coldblooded! I left the movie theater still discussing the movie with my girlfriend! Like wow, this person could not stop lying for nothing! Great cast and very entertaining! Winning!

Was looking forward to this movie. It did not disappoint

Amazing actors with an amazing plot

Slow start, but what a finish! Thought provoking and insightful. Highly recommend this film.

I thought it was worth watching. It was a little slow at the beginning with a great twist at the end.

Great movie

Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren are on FIRE in this movie! McKellen is amazing as this con man who may or may not be developing a conscious. Mirren is electric as his mark. She's vulnerable yet sharp. I freaking love her, him, them, this whole movie! I might see it again.

Good picture great ending!!!

Keeps your interest

Thought this movie would have more to it. A complete waste of money

It was very well done. I didn’t expect the twist at the end. Ian McKellan and Helen Mirren were wonderful.

Superb acting along with a great ride to the ending !

A bit hokey and long, but splendid cast and a couple of good plot twists.

Overall great!

So many twists and such good character development. Thoroughly enjoyed this film from beginning to end.

Great cast - Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen!! It’s a case of “be careful what you do or it will come back to haunt you“.

I sensed who would be the victor, but there was still suspense. Wonderful to see older actors working together!

Was completely drawn in until the ah-ha moment hit me just shortly before it was revealed in the film. All actors were great.

Loved it. I like a good movie where you see justice or vengeance and the wronged person prevails. We need more movies of mysteries and plot twists.

did not disappoint

figured it out in first minutes. made no sense.

I stayed awake the whole movie

Loved watching Helen and Ian. They are a fav of mine

Very good acting. Predictable ending. Poor adaption from book to screen

Good story, although somewhat slow

Well acted by two of Britain's finest actors. Dame Helen Mirren I've admired since John Boorman's "Excalibur" and Ian McKellan is simply amazing. Nice twist at the end. Well done!

Great movie! Awesome cast with a nice twist ending. I wouldn't take children to see as it has an (unnecessary) strip club scene with T&A flying all over. If it weren't for that scene I'd give it 4.5 stars.

wish that it was more of a cat and mouse game

Good movie! Twist blew me away

ending was not what I expected

Great movie! Must see to believe.

Too long and casting is questionable especially Ian mcKellan and grandson as well as the young Mckellan. The whole movie was too long as were the previews too many and too loud

Great cast. Great acting. Very cool plot twist.

General theme easy to deduce but specific twist interesting and kept interest

Great actors with good chemistry. It is always a pleasure to see an actor change their demeanor with a slight shrug or wardrobe change. Helen Mirren's transformation from frump to matriarch was impressive. That is why she can play royalty so readily.

Great life lesson for dishonest individuals

We don’t go to the movies much but so glad we went to see this one. Kept me captivated to the entire time.

Loved it!

Together, they redefine rapture.

Director Bill Condon (Gods and Monsters) can do this stuff with his eyes closed, and sometimes it feels like he might be doing that as the plot chugs from London to Berlin and secrets are duly uncovered. But there’s enough visual flair to elevate things above standard genre fare.

As a movie, The Good Liar is just so-so, but as a master class in performance and star quality, it’s a pleasure.
