Alain E The professional reviewers are angry and many of the amateurs. The movie is extremely successful four fifths of the way. Superb cinematography and well acted. The denouement is a stupid happy ending. The build up is ingenious: a repressed and frustrated accountant who audits big corporations in Manhattan, meets a high ranking executive in one of his jobs. They quickly develop a friendship and start socializing. Then the friend has to travel overseas. The last time they meet for lunch there is a mixup and the new friend gets to London with the accountant’s cellphone. The accountant has the other guy’s cell and start getting invitations for anonymous sex encounters in the high society. All of a sudden, he is not bored in the evenings! What eventually we and the accountant learn is that nothing was accidental and after the accountant falls for one of the women he meets he is blackmailed into committing a major financial transgression. The new friend was not exactly who or what he said that he was. This step by step development is well laid out. The more natural outcome would be for the mark to end up in the morgue. Here, the accountant develops supernatural ingenuity and ends up with the money and the girl (but not her name, that remains S in the credits). In a way, we the viewers are the victims of the deception mentioned in the title. By the way the situation with the final credits is getting completely out of control. Here they last almost for ten minutes. Maybe in solidarity with the protagonist there are seven accountants getting mention! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Audun F Suspense is sure builiding up but the plot falls completely apart with a totaly unbelievable and far-fetched denouement. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Carlos T Filme: A Lista – Você está Livre Hoje? Assistido: 8-12-24 Elenco: @thehughjackman @ewan_daily @michellewilliamsofficial @maggieq @natashahenstridge Modelo: #suspense Duração: 1h 47m Ano: 2008 Minha opinião: Um filme que temos Hugh Jackman como o vilão da estória. Um estelionatário profissional, que vive aplicar golpes. Wyatt (Hugh) arma para cima de Jonathan (Ewan), para roubar 20 milhões de dólares. Para isso envolve Jonatahn um cara pacato e introvertido em um Mundo de sexo anônimo. E nesse meio faz com que Jonathan se envolva com S (Michelle) por quem ele se apaixona perdidamente. Mas ela era parte da quadrilha de Wyatt e também trabalha para enganar Jonathan. Porem ela também se apaixona. Mas Wyatt para induzir Jonathan diz para ele que S esta refém dele, e com isso para tranfêrir os 20 milhões. Ao final Wyatt acha que Jonathan esta morto depois da explosão do seu apartamento. E quando Wyatt vai para Madrid para sacar o dinheiro com S, quem aparece? Jonathan. NA hora que Wyatt ia matar Joanthan, quem aparece? S e mata Wyatt, salvando ele. E no final vivem felizes para sempre. Roteiro e enredo um roteiro conhecido, a diferença que colocam uma parte sensual no filme. Todo o filme é razoável. Vale apena assistir? Sim para aqueles curioso de ver Jackman fazendo papel de vilão. Nota: 6 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review D 7 Good setup then off a cliff plot wise. The love interest/triangle was insane. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Audience Member Just a horrible ending to a movie that started well. It just got worse and worse and more and more predictable as the movie went on. Somehow they get off a plane from Spain and somehow both have guns. Michelle Williams disappears and then reappears the perfect moment with a gun to shoot him and save the day. Then he leaves 20 million untraceable cash lying on the street and walks away no problem to try and find his girl. Not worried about a dead body in a park holding id with his name on it. Just strolls away. Then sometime, maybe the next day he is walking down the street and there she is. How amazing in a city like Madrid he would be walking down the street and she would be on the same street at the exact same time. The whole thing is so ridiculous I’m offended these actors read this scripts ending and agreed to it.
