"With a Friend like Harry... Who needs enemies?"

With a Friend like Harry...
Directed by Dominik Moll, rated R, 117 minutes

With a Friend like Harry... is a perfectly paced and suspenseful French thriller about a meeting between a family man and Harry, an old high school classmate, by chance in a restroom, who then begins to insert himself into the family's life. Sergi Lopez is dementedly wonderful and effortlessly unnerving as Harry, but each character is likable and well written. The story brilliantly builds the tension, you really can't help but pity this family, and the script purposefully works in some very dark humor. With a Friend like Harry... is a creepy, clever and effective Hitchcockian thriller that pays off like few other thrillers can. You'll like it if: You like foreign thrillers, psychological thrillers, Alfred Hitchcock's films, The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Vanishing or Strangers on a Train.
