Admittedly, “The Good Liar” has no single aspect that is extraordinary and the movie more than likely won’t make anyone’s list top 10. Yet, as a whole, the movie has enough going for it to make it worth a view. This is especially true if you are looking for something out of the norm. The writers do a very good job of letting you think you know what direction the story is taking, but introduces enough small surprises to know you better not get to confident in your prediction. And while not nearly the twists and turns that shock the audience in the way Knives Out, The Sixth Sense or any other such movies, there is enough of a twist coupled with fairly decent performances by the two main actors, Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen, and a style to the story telling that makes it all worthwhile at the end.
