trying desperately not to do a they don’t make em like this anymore thing. but damn this was good. a great, economical script. and properly lit which is a lot to ask of a movie nowadays.
slick and sexy. understands the spy genre is 90 percent foreplay. engaging from start to finish. Fassbinder/Blanchett always deliver. wife guy cinema.

Classic case of they don’t make em like this anymore. Wilder had generational pen game. Neff and Dietrichson’s first meeting is a masterclass. Bitches have tried and failed to be Barbara Stanwyck character in this for 80 years since.
Killing a man for a woman. Doing it for love and $50,000, but more importantly the thrill of the cat n mouse game with your cranky work husband.Translated from by -
