Return

Here is a very good recent rental, and a good film to come out of this year --

With A Friend Like Harry

A psychological thriller about old schoolmates bumping into each other by chance, with the rich, charming, and potentially psychotic one interposing himself into the life of the other. You will be required to suspend disbelief a few times (I chalked some of the more trusting actions on the part of characters to the fact that they were French), and director Dominik Moll lapses into Hitchcock fetish once too often, but still, a compelling two hours.

Grade: B.
