In Detail

Starring Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett and Toni Collette, this remake of the 1947 film noir classic follows a charismatic, but down-on-his-luck carny named Stanton Carlisle (Cooper) sporting a caddish moustache who endears himself to clairvoyant Zeena (Collette) and her has-been mentalist husband Pete (David Strathairn) at a traveling carnival.

With some newly acquired knowledge perfect for a grifter, Stanton plots to con a dangerous tycoon (Richard Jenkins) with the aid of a mysterious psychiatrist (Blanchett). Guillermo del Toro directs with customary verve and dash all the while sustaining a creepy gothic horror sensibility. "a spectacular noir melodrama boasting gruesomely enjoyable performances and freaky twists" The Guardian
