Synopsis

Ray Elliot (Steve Coogan) is a former con man who now runs a legitimate (!) business providing airtight alibis for unfaithful spouses . He is assisted by his new and attractive employee, Lola (Rebecca Romijn). Things are going smoothly until Ray's latest arrangement with Wendell Hatch (James Marsden), the son of his most influential client, goes horribly wrong. When Wendell accidentally causes the death of his date, Ray finds himself in the middle of a murder cover-up. Now, he is being hunted by both the police and a cold-blooded hitman known as "The Mormon" (Sam Elliott). Ray and Lola must use all their cunning to clear their names and survive .

Editor's Review

What if your job is to perfect other people's lies, and you suddenly find yourself caught up in a real murder? 'The Alibi' is a fun crime comedy about the unusual business of ex-conman Ray Elliot. Steve Coogan stars as Ray, trying to keep his cool, alongside a stellar cast including James Marsden, Sam Elliott, and the lovely Rebecca Romijn . Viewers find the film 'entertaining' and 'full of twists,' though some note that character development is a bit weak . But one thing is certain: this 90-minute adventure masterfully blends comedy and tension, keeping you glued to the screen as a murder cover-up spirals out of control . Will Ray's plan work? Will Lola's help be enough? If you're curious, join this clever cat-and-mouse game.
