Great title. Too bad what follows doesn't have the same insouciant charm.

Rating: C --
Ben Kingsley - who is always great - does some scenery-chewing as Soussan's more experienced boss, but even Kingsley's presence isn't enough to make things work.

This is a fascinating, outrage-provoking story but director Per Fly's bid to turn it into a cloak-and-dagger thriller falls disappointingly flat.

Backstabbing for Beginners doesn't convey the complexities of this scandal nor the troubled, compromised humanity of its characters.

It involves so much internecine crime that it would be hard to understand under any circumstances, but this film is a drier head-scratcher than it needs to be.
