About

You’ll likely enjoy The Interview if you like dark, interrogation-heavy thrillers that keep you guessing; Not for you if you need clear answers or hate ambiguous endings like Proof or Without a Trace.

Pros: gripping interview tension; dark noir feel; strong lead performances | Cons: vague side story; over-the-top acting; sometimes dull pacing
