Review of The Best Offer (2013) by Nicholasbert — 05 Jun 2015

The plot could have been interesting, but the realisation of the twist is very easily predictable - I found Sturgess's performance better than Rush's or Sutherland's, the former because of lack of passion and the latter merely for the tiny screentime.

Not many particular directorial choices as one would expect from Tornatore, but the visual style is refined and meticulously prepared. Not much of a thriller in the literal meaning of the term, but all in all not a horrible film.
