BBC iPlayer has just added a tantalising crime drama to its free streaming lineup, and it's a doozy you'll want to dive into.
The movie not only comes from the creative mind of Sunday Times bestselling author Nicholas Searle, but it marks the first time screen legends Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen have joined forces on film.
In a stellar performance, McKellen stars as a veteran trickster eyeing up his final mark: a well-off widow played by the equally formidable Mirren.
But as he delves deeper into his last grand deception, the widow's grandson gets wise to his game.
If this storyline catches your fancy, dart over to The Good Liar on BBC iPlayer pronto to unravel its many stunning revelations, reports the Express.
Remember that films typically stay put on the service for 30 days post-debut, so you've got a brief window to catch this beguiling flick before the festive fervour kicks in.
Even The Guardian gave The Good Liar a nod as one of 2019's unappreciated gems you likely missed.
Catherine Shoard penned: "It's not just very well made, it's also supremely entertaining one of few films I've seen in recent years where I really wanted to know what happens next," and "This isn't a knowing homage like Knives Out nor a glossily postmodern box of secrets, like Pain and Glory," she further remarks.
"It's just a straight-down-the-line thriller, built on a nest of twists, perched on shifting sands. It won't especially make you cry or laugh, or think differently about the world. But it completely commands your attention."
Critic Peter Bradshaw concurred with this view, penning for the same outlet at the time of release: "This mystery thriller is outrageous and irresistible, an old-fashioned drama with dashes of Patricia Highsmith, Patrick Hamilton, John le Carre and maybe Elizabeth Jane Howard's memoir Slipstream."
He further praised the film for its "delicious" lead performances by McKellen and Mirren, and noted that it "rattles along with terrific energy and dash and the flashback sequences show that it's actually far more daring and ambitious that you might expect."
"It's a great duel between McKellen and Mirren," he concluded.
Variety labelled The Good Liar as a "delectably clever and civilised con-artist thriller".
Audiences have also been singing praises for the film online, with one Letterboxd user exclaiming: "Amazing movie!! Definitely recommend watching it. Love the twist and the ending, it adds so much more to the characters."
Another fan gushed: "Now, THAT'S a good thriller.
"The Good Liar is an unpredictable, tightly crafted and well-acted 'hitchcockian' thriller that had me on the edge of my seat throughout most of its runtime."
Prepare yourself for some shocking revelations if you decide to watch The Good Liar this weekend.
The Good Liar is available to stream on BBC iPlayer and Netflix.
