Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesChristoph Waltz's directorial debut of a cinematic movie. He earlier directed the made-for-TV movie "Wenn man sich traut (2000)," for which he also wrote the screenplay.
- GaffesMott's so-called uniform of the Iraqi Special Forces is an appalling mish-mash. The tunic is British style. The brass buttons have the design worn on a civilian's blazer. There's no rank and the black flashes on the upper collar have no meaning. The cap badge on the beret looks like it was stolen from the set of Hunt for Red October. The ribbons are all from American issued medals.

Commentaire à la une
In a sense this is the Christoph Waltz show, he directs and stars as a man who had great ambitions but was totally duplicitous. In the Washington, D. C. area. Dabbling on the edges of politics and wars. When he 91-yr-old wife turns up dead in their home he is the logical suspect.
In the real life inspiration for the movie the younger man met his eventual wife when he was still a teenager in college. She was married at the time but after her husband died they reconnected. They married in 1990 when she was 70 and he was 26. Her death was 21 years later.
There are a number of really good actors but the movie succeeds on the performance of Christoph Waltz as the duplicitous narcissist. I have seen him in a variety of roles and he is always excellent, a real expert in his craft.
My wife and I watched it at home streaming on Amazon. A really interesting and entertaining movie.
