Birthday Girl

A film about a computer geek / banker that goes on to a web site called "from Russia with Love" where he orders a mail order bride. After a while some friends of hers show up but they are kind of on the shady side and cause problems. This is one that is really hard to talk about without giving anything away. However I can talk about the really good acting. Ben Chaplin, and Nicole Kidman were amazing. I'm not really a big time Nicole fan either so if I say she was good you know I'm not being bias. She has this accent for the film and I never heard her loose it. Now I don't speak Russian so I don't know that the words were right but I would guess it was. Ben Chaplin was also believable as the geeky guy that has a dark side. I don't remember the names of the actors that played the Russian friends but I will say they too were very good. This is a good drama with some action that I would suggest checking out. I give this film a B+.

Yeah I know it's IMDB again but I'm thinking if you want more info it's right there for you.
