Georgetown

Or is it psychopath? I get the 2 mixed up despite the fact I lived next door to one for far too long.

This is a great (true) story - scary story. Cannot imagine being the daughter, seeing the ruse so clearly and not having my mother believe me.

I would not be surprised if this showed up on Dirty John Series. Sadly, it's perfect for that franchise.

Okay - the cinematography is a bit off a lot of the time, but that's forgivable for this first time director. Do hope he doesn't allow it to happen again. Really hope it wasn't his choice to shoot it that faded out!

Great cast! And story. Glad they wrapped it up at the end for us.

If you want a lesson on what to look for in someone who seems too good to be true - watch this. And if you know someone like him - RUN !!

A compelling movie that reveals the flaws in American high society to readily accept people based on vague connections and sheer gall. The protagonist in this movie, played wonderfully by Christoph Waltz (who also directs) is both fascinating and disturbing - a character so determined to climb the social and political ladder that he'll attempt to charm and shmooze his way into virtually every opportunity, all delivered with the smile of a charming, dinner party host. The film unfolds via a series of flashbacks, each showing chapters of the character's life and disturbing personality, culminating in a criminal event. The other cast members are equally brilliant and the movie keeps the tension going throughout. A great film to watch if you're interested in human psychology and the motivations behind those that prey on the vulnerabilities and egos of others.

I don't understand the bad ratings. Ok it's not a 10 but an enjoyable movie with Waltz at his best. 1st half of the movie is brilliant. The second half, especially towards the ending, lacks a bit which is why I only give it a 7.

Waltz and Redgrave offer great performances portraying the real people involved in this movie. Be ready to raise questions and seek answers. Think fraud but ....

Why the haters coming down on this amazing movie? Christophe Waltz is brilliant as always! Annette Bening is terrific as always! Everyone is great and the casting is tops. There is mystery, intrigue, a bit of humor. It is a bit slow paced in parts but is consistently watchable. If you like a well-made film for adults, this is it. Give it a chance!
