I almost lost all hope for Jim Carrey after his watching his entire acting career wasted on shallow, predictable and dense movies. It only liked him in Man on the Moon, Yes Man and now this. Taking on the role as Steven Russell, the true con artist, impostor, and multiple prison escapee, he wins you over hands down for being that sweet, charming and witty Carrey we know.
Although the plot has somewhat been dramatized, the heart of the story is still an intriguing and emotionally stirring one. Both Carrey and McGregor are excellent actors and they will have you believing in their love for one another.
At most parts the movie is fast paced, hilarious and suggestive but decent. Due to some distribution rights dispute and the romantically charged gay theme, this movie may never be released in cinemas worldwide and get the straight to DVD stamp. It will be such a waste to have a great movie like this swept under the carpet.
But with today's technology and social networks the fans will find this true piece of gem sooner or later.
8/10
