An exhilarating combination of romance and suspense ignites
sparks of all kinds against the backdrop of an edgy, modern Paris
in The Truth About Charlie, Academy AwardÆ-winning director
Jonathan Demmeís fresh take on the 1963 Stanley Donen
film Charade.
Regina Lambert (Thandie Newton) meets the charming Joshua
Peters (Mark Wahlberg) while vacationing in Martinique, as she
contemplates ending her whirlwind marriage to the enigmatic Charlie
(Stephen Dillane). But upon her return to Paris, she finds that
both her apartment and her bank account have been emptied, and
her husband has been mysteriously murdered. A trio of his old
cohorts (Joong-Hoon Park, Ted Levine, Lisa Gay Hamilton) has
begun shadowing her in hopes of answering their own questions
about Charlie and recovering a bundle of missing cash. Joshua
is in Paris now, too, and ready to offer any help he can.
The more Reggie learns, the more she must find out to fill
in the missing pieces of this puzzle and to protect herself from
ever-increasing danger. Joshua lays a growing claim on her affection,
even as disturbing information about him surfaces and undermines
her trust. Hard-edged Commandant Dominique (Christine Boisson)
thinks Reggie herself is the most likely suspect. The attentions
of a straight-laced embassy official (Tim Robbins) make Reggieís
situation even more complicated. But all she can do is carry
on with the knowledge that in life, as in love, nothing is ever
as simple as it seems.
