Movie Reviews of The Interview

Movie Review: magnificently creepy
Summary: 5 Stars

This one had me; It had me in the palm of its cinematic hand from the minute it began until the second it was over;I was riveted by what I was watching and hearing. I don't usually have trouble deciphering the Aussie accent but i must admit to a spot of bother once or twice here; good thing I watched it on DVD and was able to rewind a few times. I consider this of course, MY failing totally and it has NOTHING to do with the quality of this film or the performances. THE INTERVIEW is one of the most magnificently acted movies I have seen in a long time. I must confess to having never seen Hugo Weavving in anything other than the Lord Of the Rings films. Here he gives an absolutely mesmerizing performance and he's matched, scene for scene, by TONY MARTIN, an Australian actor whom I have grown to respect enormously--just based on what I saw him accomplish in this film.Powerhouse performances from he and Hugo Weaving really carry the film but that's not to say that co-writer/director Craig Monahan doesn't show a masterful sense of style and pace. This is just a fantastic movie.

Summary of The Interview

It's hard to describe the opening scenes of The Interview without using the word "Kafka-esque," so let's just get that out of the way and focus on this truly wonderful Aussie suspense flick. Hugo Weaving, best known in the U.S. for his roles in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Matrix, plays Fleming, an Everyman who is rudely awakened one morning when the police burst into his house. Fleming is roughed up, refused food, and interrogated about an unspecified offense. "Oh," you might say, "one of those." But just when you think you've got a handle on it, The Interview slips away and becomes something else again. To reveal any more would be to ruin the pleasure of watching a beautifully crafted script unfold. In addition to a fascinating plot and clever dialogue, The Interview boasts superb performances by Weaving and Tony Martin as Steele, Fleming's chief interrogator. Grab a copy and impress your friends with the little-known gem you've discovered. --Ali Davis
