Susan S May 18, 2021 Great cast and interesting story! See more Susan J May 17, 2021 Redgrave made the movie for me. She is the consummate actress. Christoph Waltz was outstanding as "butler", as she called him. I was less impressed with Annette Bening. Her portrayal of the disgruntled daughter was the weakest character. She needs to work on facial expressions. I clicked the star (4), but it would not allow it to show up. See more PERCY B @P.BADINAGE Jun 28, 2026 A much better movie than these % numbers would have you believe. Christopher Waltz is great as both director and star. He's always amazing and Vanessa Redgrave is acting gold, always. What makes this movie so good is that it's based on actual events with dramatic license. But the story is so fascinating that there are con artists among us like this certifiable lunatic and smart people still fall for their obvious con. And it keeps happening. A true lesson in human nature and a movie done not only very well but a very enjoyable watch. See more Alain E @AlainE May 31, 2026 I lived in Nebraska and working long hours when the actual events transpired and apparently never heard of this story until today. The opening scene of the movie feels utterly fake and in a way it is ingenious because the story is about a deception in the nth degree. Other than the daughter played by Benning, all other characters demonstrate various human weaknesses. The protagonist is a decorated brigadier general of the Iraqi army, a proud graduate of the Walter Mitty branch in West Point. He marries a much older socialite journalist who despite recognizing his flaws, ultimately finds him preferable to solitude and pays a heavy price. No major flaws in acting or photography. See more Deepika V @deepikav12 Nov 19, 2025 Loved this movie. Hard to not like Waltz's characters, even if they are negative, as he brings charm and charisma to the roles. He acted well in this movie. A mix of thriller and drama. It was also directed really well, by him. The pacing was smooth, and led to a dramatic finish. See more Alec B @Alec97 Jan 10, 2024 There's a bluntness to the narrative I appreciate. Mott is so obviously a grifter and the elite D.C. spaces he infiltrates are populated by people who firmly believe they could never be grifted which makes them the perfect target for someone who has ambition without much intelligence.
