Viewing Notes
via Netflix
A tour guide and con artist finds himself caught in a dangerous arrangement when he meets a wealthy couple sightseeing in Greece. I had originally put this on my Pull List because of the main cast in this one and not knowing anything else about it. Kirsten Dunst is given a few good scenes to work with in this but a lot of it falls on Viggo Mortensen and Oscar Isaac to pull off. The idea is interesting and the setting was definitely neat, but for a film billed as a crime thriller, there’s not a lot going on and it feels like it drags despite the great acting.
