Dustin Hoffman and Leo Woodall in Tuner

So, Ciwt would give the thriller plot of Tuner maybe B-. Slow to get started and lots of holes when it did.

BUT all A's for moviemaking elements!

Acting:  Great to see Dustin Hoffman; it's been a while.  And to see him with the soon to be very important young star he once was: Leo Woodall.  Quietly riveting.  The third cast member, Havana Rose Liu was (also quietly) superb.

Sound:  Tuner isn't a quiet movie.  Well, sometimes it is.  In fact it makes the most original use of sound Ciwt has ever encountered in a movie.

Cinematography:  Again, wholly original.  Amazing use of color and perspective.

Overall, Ciwt was truly delighted to see the second of well made, grown up, serious movies in a row.*  Fingers crossed for more
