Charade

This is one of the best movies I have seen recently that I have not previously viewed before. Having no idea what Charade would be about, I was pleasantly surprised throughout the entire movie, being shocked and surprised by twists and suspenseful scenes. Not only was this film a mystery/thriller, but it was also a comedy. Being able to combine these two aspects is the reason for the rating I will give it later on in this review. The movie is about a woman (Audrey Hepburn) who's husband was recently murdered by being thrown off of a train. This was not an accidental murder, but he was killed over a quarter of a million dollars that he and four others had stolen from the government. Now those men are after Hepburn, and eventually each other, looking for this money. Wherever it has gone, they will do anything to get it.

I was greatly surprised by the many, many, many twists in this movie which had be wondering throughout. If they made mysteries as good as this nowadays, I think that the genre would be saved, and would encourage me to watch more Hollywood-made mysteries. (That'll be the day...)

Rating: 8.7/10
