I struggled to keep up with the story. With all the swapping and changing of characters (Mark Wahlberg changed his name three times in the movie!) it was hard to comprehend who was who. The ending wasn't too bad though, and Tim Robbins was brilliant as usual.

MCT:January 26, 2008I gather this is a remake of Charade with Audrey Hepburn and am not particularly interested in seeing someone else do it.
-
MCT:January 22, 2008Started out a little slow but had a good storyline and a few clever twists thrown in here and there. Overall it was ok.

An okay movie that has a good plot and a few decent twists and turns but some of the things that happen are unbelievable.

MCT:August 25, 2007A Good Movie From A Great Director With Great Story And GOod Cast But THe Movie Isn't Great It's Just Good

A decent remake of 1963's Charade, starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant - while effective in some ways, and Newton is quite fine, things just don't fit... you don't exactly see Mark Wahlberg as a Cary Grant esque leading man and Tim Robbins is probably miscast here (I think he might've gotten the role thanks to a distant Walter Matthau look to him). But hey, sure, it's a fun watch on itself.
-
MCT:July 28, 2007Great direction by Jonathan Demme. Surprising cuts, subjective points of view, fun cameos by French singers. A very French film. Too bad there's hardly any fun in it, especially considering the witty banter of the Cary Grant / Audrey Hepburn version.

it was okay...a mediocre version of the film charade...but that had cary grant in it..and this one didnt..making it a lot worse before i even started watching it..
but thandie newton is always good value and it had a good cast..mark wahlberg etc and was entertaining.. -

Thandie Newton was the only good part of this movie. Her acting kept this thing from sinking to the ocean floor.

This movie was breath of fresh air for me when it came out. It broke away from the typcial film mold with brilliant usage of frontal camera shots as well as more alternate, less orthodox angles. This movie gave me the feel of an old skool film with heavy hand held camera usage. I was impressed by the acting as well. For me, this was Thandie Newton's break out role, I was able to see some of her versitility. Whalberg is always good, along with some of the more unknown actors and actresses this movie is definately one to be seen.

Great movie. Full of suspense and quite unpredictible. Though I kinda get confused somewhere in the middle of the story cos there's too many characters. Quite good though.
-
MCT:March 25, 2007I know this film got bad reviews but I thought it was a fun mind bender. I really really did not figure the twists out before the end.
-
MCT:March 22, 2007
Ok so hardly the greatest film ever, in fact I spent half the film wondering why Mark Wahlberg and Tim Robbins, two of my favourtie actors, would even make this film, but by the end I was kind of ok with the cheesiness and tackiness of the film. I don't think I'd enjoy it if I watched it again, I think it would lose the magic of watching it with Sarah and Gemma and making fun of it as a group. My final point about this film is what was with all the silly hats Mark?

A little weird, sometimes it feels like it is all over the place, but the movie is very well done and I liked the way you keep wondering how it is gonna end.
-
MCT:January 16, 2007
I took a stab at this, but the fact remains: Mark Wahlberg is fine, but he has not got a tenth of the charisma and charm of Cary Grant, and that's what the part required.
-
MCT:July 27, 2006Please save yourselves from seeing this horrible film. so i forced myself to finish the film because there were too many lose ends everywhere and i needed to know how the story turned out.
This is a remake of the movie Charade and they tried hard to make it almost the same but the actors were just not the same, the way some scenes were captured seemed unecessary and made it actually feel like less of a film for trying hard to be fancy.
Highly recommed to watch Charade instead of this one, even if the technology in that film is not up to date BUT you'll enjoy it much much more. -

For the love of all that is good and holy, watch the original, the Audrey Hepburn/Cary Grant movie Charade, instead of this lame remake.
-
MCT:July 6, 2006
an average, though often incoherent remake of the classic film "Charade." The production is lavish, the casting is young and fresh, but Demme ditches the character development for the thriller aspects that he did so well in "Silence of the Lambs."
-

I saw this in theaters, and was in complete shock at how terrible it was. Not only was it dull and uninteresting, but the filmmaking itself was horrendous - what was Demme thinking?
-
MCT:June 14, 2006Horrible...what was Demme thinking? I watched Charade and this back-to-back and there was absolutely no comparison...this didn't even come close. One of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Don't waste your money on this. The whole plot falls apart about halfway through. The camera angles are also nauseating and annoying. Is it now "cool" to make the camera shake so it looks like a home movie? How about focusing on everything but the speaker? Uff da. The original movie, Charade, had humor, more of a plot, better actors . . . generally superior in every way.
