And Roy means to take it all.  From their very first meeting, Roy begins plying Betty with his tried and true manipulations, and Betty, who seems quite taken with him, is soon going along for the ride.  But this time, what should have been a simple swindle escalates into a cat-and-mouse game with the ultimate stakes\u2014revealing more insidious deceptions that will take them both through a minefield of danger, intrigue and betrayal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comparing the way in which audiences gain insight about the two leads, Condon goes on to say, \u201cFrom the beginning it\u2019s Roy we learn the most about in terms of his life and activities, whereas Betty plays things much closer to the vest. She\u2019s mostly seen from Roy\u2019s point of view, which makes Helen\u2019s performance all the more challenging because within that context\u2014a \u2018mark,\u2019 a homebody, a lonely widow\u2014you come to realize that\u2019s not quite all there is to it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"669\" data-attachment-id=\"20741\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/movies-entertainment\/the-good-liar-sets-first-on-screen-team-up-of-helen-mirren-ian-mckellen\/attachment\/film-review-the-good-liar\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/TGL-05-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4151,2710\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;AP&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;This image released by Warner Bros.

She\u2019s intelligent, but with a sort of innocence about her and a sense of decency.  She\u2019s also direct, which I like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But intelligence can be a subjective commodity.  It\u2019s possible to be highly educated in one area of expertise such as art, history or literature, yet know next to nothing about finances and investments because, perhaps, there used to be a spouse at home who took charge of such things.  When it comes to Betty, this all-too-common lapse is what Roy is counting on.  As Condon asserts, \u201cIt\u2019s what all cons count on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consequently, it was Mirren\u2019s task to play Betty, he describes, \u201cas slightly less sophisticated about certain things. But what you don\u2019t want is a person who comes across as unconvincingly na\u00efve.  Betty is bright, there\u2019s no denying that.  Helen just has to bring it down a couple of points and it\u2019s that kind of subtlety that she does so brilliantly. That\u2019s part of what\u2019s so delicate about the movie. It\u2019s not a traditional mystery in that we\u2019re not pretending that Betty isn\u2019t also holding something back. You get just a sense of it, possibly, but you can\u2019t imagine what it is, or why, or how she\u2019s planning to use it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Roy, meanwhile, a great deal is immediately revealed regarding his plans and various business deals, not to mention the depth of his determination to get what he wants. And yet, so much about him remains unknowable, a fact that McKellen teases by acknowledging, \u201cIf I talk about Roy, I might be saying something Roy wouldn\u2019t want me to tell you. That he\u2019s a con man is rapidly obvious, but who he actually is, where he comes from and what his motives are, are part of the fun of watching the story unwind.  His mustache is real; I\u2019ll tell you that much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"896\" data-attachment-id=\"20738\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/movies-entertainment\/the-good-liar-sets-first-on-screen-team-up-of-helen-mirren-ian-mckellen\/attachment\/imckellen-hmirren\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMcKellen-HMirren.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1027,899\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1573560090&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMcKellen &#8211; HMirren\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMcKellen-HMirren-300x263.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMcKellen-HMirren-1024x896.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMcKellen-HMirren-1024x896.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20738\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMcKellen-HMirren-1024x896.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMcKellen-HMirren-300x263.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMcKellen-HMirren-768x672.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMcKellen-HMirren.jpg 1027w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s that dry sense of humor, along with McKellen\u2019s other gifts, that Condon has come to count upon in his performances. \u201cIan is one of the world\u2019s preeminent Shakespearean actors,\u201d he says, \u201cwith a gallery of film villains to his credit, but I believe it was \u2018Lord of the Rings\u2019 and that wonderful, magical twinkle he brought to Gandalf that made him beloved around the world by a new legion of fans.
