THIRD PERSON tells three stories of love, passion, trust and betrayal. The tales play out in New York, Paris and Rome through three couples who appear to have nothing related, but share deep commonalities lovers and estranged spouses, children lost and found. Featuring an award-winning ensemble cast including Liam Neeson (SCHINDLER'S LIST), Adrien Brody (THE PIANIST), James Franco (127 Hours), Olivia Wilde (RUSH), Mila Kunis (BLACK SWAN), Kim Basinger (L.A. CONFIDENTIAL) and Maria Bello (A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE). Written and directed by Academy Award winner Paul Haggis (Best Motion Picture, CRASH, 2005), Third Person is a mystery, a puzzle in which the truth is revealed in glimpses, clues are caught by the corner of the eye and nothing is truly what it seems.

Great actors, confusing story
on June 26, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I borrowed this movie from the library and then bought it because I wanted to see it again to figure more of it out. Liam Neeson and Olivia Wilde were especially watch-worthy. The plot was really confusing with the story capriciously divided between different times, venues, and actors standing in for each other in the main story. An indie flic somewhat reminiscent of old Fellini movies. I'd give a grudging recommendation to art film buffs. Still, worth watching for a nudie scene with the very beautiful Ms. Wilde.

Decent addition to "Sniper" series

While this movie wasn't great it was pretty good. Perhaps as good or better than the original (which I saw a long time ago and don't remember well). It was good to see Tom Berenger again though his appearance was relatively brief. I would recommend this to a friend only if they were already a fan.

This title contains every episode from the debut season of the British sci-fi thriller series Orphan Black starring Tatiana Maslany as a woman who discovers there are numerous clones of her walking the Earth.

great series

Intriguing near future sci-fi plot lines, action, mystery, sensuality, humor--everything you could ask for in adult (but not 'R') entertainment. Fantastic acting by Tatiana Maslany. Very fast moving and hard to put down (so to speak).

The second season of this sci-fi thriller continues to follow orphan Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany) throughout a deadly conspiracy after learning that she is not only a clone, but that there are others out there like her - some of whom don't have the best intentions.

As compelling as season 1

This is the best science fiction TV show since re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. While it's very different it's addictive--once you've seen it (please start at the beginning of season 1 so you know what's going on-- it moves fast) you have to see more. Tatiana Maslany is truly an impressive actress. While there are a few plot holes this is the best TV series I've seen in a long time, maybe ever. I have season 1 on regular DVD and the blu-ray version(of season 2) is definitely an improvement though either way it's definitely worth watching.

Gladiator is a great movie. Arguably Russel Crowe's greatest roll. The blu-ray version is a noticeable improvement over the regular DVD. At the price, it is a must buy.

breathing life into "tired" franchise
on August 8, 2014
Posted by: folzok
from Denver, CO
Verified Purchase:Yes
The opening action car chase was spectacular but went by so fast it was hard to tell what was going on. Daniel Craig is a good Bond and the women, as usual, were beautiful, especially Olga Kurylenko. The plot was absurd and stupid. The nods to Bond's toys from the past was fun nostalgia but hard to sustain an entire film. Video quality was great, however. Recommended for Bond aficionados only.

good acting on flawed material
on August 8, 2014
Posted by: folzok
from Denver, CO
Verified Purchase:Yes
the camera work and acting was good to very good but there were a lot of explanation holes and some scenes went by too fast and others too slow. I read the book and saw the film in the theater and oddly the video seemed like a different cut than in the theater. The plot, thoughts and emotions from the book were glossed over, left out , or played too broadly. It seemed that playing to the teen movie audience, even though it was a young adult book, made the characters and the whole story more trite and shallow. The angst of maturing into a deeply flawed society was there but lacked sophistication and verisimilitude.

Very Entertaining Saldana vehicle

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this because I'm a Zoe Saldana fan and I wasn't disappointed. The little girl they had playing the young version of her character was also excellent but I thought they spent too much time on that back story. Great atmosphere and locales. I've seen the general plot too many times to think it was remotely original in that sense but, Saldana did as good or better job of acting than Avatar. The extras were perhaps a tad better, but not more, than the usual self-aggrandizing stuff. I only buy flics that I'll watch more than once ( as opposed to getting them from the library) and I'll definitely do so in this case.

good movie, woth watching

Verified Purchase:Yes
a very good movie. also a pretty good adaptation of the book. the video was very good quality while the extras were, as usual, superfluous. If you liked the books you'll like the movie. still, it needed to underscore the economic and political situation more. The ending was abrupt and left me hungering(pun intended) for more.
