Sir Anthony Hopkins stars as Alfred Hitchcock in this feature about the making of Hitchcock's hugely influential picture, Psycho (1960). Hopkins manages to inhabit some great little details of the late master of suspense in a largely satisfactory role (Dame Helen Mirren, his co-star is, however, brilliant). Hopkins doesn't exactly look the part (compare to the near flawless resemblalence between Scarlett Johansson and Janet Leigh or James D'Arcy and Anthony Perkins). Dramatically, it manages to hold itself together but with a story that's rather undertold.
