This film stars Viggo Mortensen and Kirsten Dunst as a married couple (Chester and Colette MacFarland) holidaying in Greece when they befriend an ex-pat American tour guide Rylan, played by Oscar Isaac. As well as tour guiding Rylan, for extra cash also scams the tourists as he speaks fluent Greek.
As the film proceeds it turns out that the MacFarland's are not that honest either and after an altercation with a private investigator they go on the run (aided by Rylan)..
This film is fairly pedestrian to start with but picks up about two thirds in as the tension starts to mount. It's set in 1962 and looks gorgeous. The attention to detail is there and they must get through 40 fags a day (which can't be healthy)
Towards the end it twists and turns and to be honest I wasn't sure how it was gonna pan out.. Which is a good thing these days..
Overall and entertaining way to kill 90 minutes..
