The directorial debut of screenwriter Hossein Amini, The Two Faces of January , is a well acted and looking thriller that never quite brings out the most in its source text.
It makes perfect sense why Universal largely declined to press screen their $175 million budgeted and largely already written off 47 Ronin . It's the new Cutthroat Island , only less fun, which really only means that Carl Rinsch's debut feature somehow sucks at the very art of sucking.
