THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY
Viggo Mortensen + Kirsten Dunst In A Taut Thriller
Are you ready for another hot movie with a killer trifecta, PROVOKRs? For our Movie of the Week, you can stream The Two Faces of January, starring Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst, and Oscar Isaac, for free.
The 2014 film follows Chester (Mortensen) and his wife, Colette (Dunst), on a trip to Athens. There, they enlist the help of a con-artist tour guide, Rydal (Isaac), whose fluency in Greece tricks the couple into thinking he’s not American. The couple harbors dark secrets, though, which makes for an interesting movie after the murder of a private detective, and one of them is considered the suspect. They must work together to flee.
The film is based on Patricia Highsmith’s 1964 novel of the same name, so you know it’s sexy and thrilling. The film marked the directorial debut of screenwriter Hossein Amini, who wrote Drive. Amini hasn’t directed another movie since, but we’re holding out hope that he sits in the director’s chair again.
This movie is good, so PROVOKRs, tune in while you can.
