The three leads take some cues from the Hitchcock school of acting in this well done old-fashioned thriller, actually shot on location in Greece and Turkey. It looks great by the way. Viggo Mortenson is the charming chatterbox with a dark side, Oscar Isaac is the wide-eyed youth with an inferiority complex, and Kirsten Dunst is the blonde-nuff said about that when it comes to Hitchcockian thrlilers. Filmed economically, The Two Faces of January is a tense little flick that's filmed on these wide-open spaces with all the 1960s glamour yet feels claustrophobic thanks to its tiny cast and the sticky situations they find themselves in.
