Review of "The Two Faces of January"
Full review
Patricia Highsmith novel adapted by Hossein Amini and shot (very effectively) in the style of an early 1960s (hitchcock) thriller. A first class piece of filmmaking. Only quibbles the playing with time - day becomes night for dramatic effect rather than narrative logic.
