    Worth a shot!

    Although this became a very confusing at some points but be assured it all comes together at the end. Robert Redford played a great part and so did Helen Mirren.

    If your after sitting and really watching a movie this is the one but remember to pay attention.

    Very enjoyable

    A very good cast, makes this film well worth watching. At one point i thought it was going to be one of thoes films with a stupid ending that leaves you guessing,but no it had quite a good finish. If your a helen Mirren fan then go for it!
