| Movie Summary from Amazon | |
Product Description
Essentially a three-person story, this compelling Australian crime drama stars Hugo Weaving ("The Matrix") as a shady Melbourne man taken from his apartment in the dead of night and subjected to a grueling interrogation by veteran police detective Tony Martin and protege Aaron Jeffrey. As the duo, who are unknowingly being watched by Internal Affairs, grill Weaving over his possible involvement in an auto theft and murder, the true nature of each man is revealed. 103 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; biographies; interviews; audio commentary; theatrical trailer; alternate ending; deleted scenes. Amazon.com It's hard to describe the opening scenes of The Interview without using the word "Kafka-esque," so let's just get that out of the way and focus on this truly wonderful Aussie suspense flick. Hugo Weaving, best known in the U.S. for his roles in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Matrix, plays Fleming, an Everyman who is rudely awakened one morning when the police burst into his house. Fleming is roughed up, refused food, and interrogated about an unspecified offense. "Oh," you might say, "one of those." But just when you think you've got a handle on it, The Interview slips away and becomes something else again. To reveal any more would be to ruin the pleasure of watching a beautifully crafted script unfold. In addition to a fascinating plot and clever dialogue, The Interview boasts superb performances by Weaving and Tony Martin as Steele, Fleming's chief interrogator. Grab a copy and impress your friends with the little-known gem you've discovered. --Ali Davis Actors: Tony Martin Hugo Weaving Directors: Writers: Producers: |
