Description

From the Academy Award-winning director Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs), and starring Mark Wahlberg (Planet of the Apes), Thandie Newton (Mission: Impossible II) and Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption), The Truth About Charlie is an explosive re-make of the original hit thriller, Charade. Regina (Newton) returns home from vacation to find her husband Charlie murdered and three violent strangers claiming Charlie cheated them out of millions. But when she accepts the help of a mysterious stranger (Wahlberg), Regina plunges into a world where double-cross turns to triple-cross and trust turns into the deadliest weapon of all. A spectacular, roller coaster thrill ride, The Truth About Charlie will keep you guessing right up to the gripping conclusion!

  • Great film... IT IS NOT A THRILLER.

    This is a great movie if you do not expect the original AND do not read into Apple's/Universal's incorrect "thriller" genre specification. THIS FILM BELONGS IN A MYSTERY GENRE. The film does have some comedic, dramatic, and thrilling elements added in, but feels a lot like the old board game, Clue - at least to me. Go into the movie open-mined about how this cast cares to tell the story. If you do this, the movie will be fun. If you continuously try to compare the film to Charade (like the critics), you will probably also want to rate it at 30+ percent.
