Airplane vs man

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2010)

North by Northwest is one of the great Alfred Hitchcock's movies. Once again, Hitchcock uses his influence to make a great story and uses great shots to tell a story. This movie has the fill of a James Bond film but Hitchcock does it in a more subtle way blending the comedy action and suspense. Hitchcock just knows how to movie his actors and the camera to tell his story and keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Spoiler Alert The movie starts off when Thornhill is mistaken for a spy named Kapland. A group of foreign spies takes Thornhill thinking he is the spy that has been tracking their group for some time. Unknown to the spies and Thornhill, Kapland is a made up spy that has never existed and is a creation of the CIA to cover the real double agent Kendall. Thornhill is then accused of killing a state senator and then starts crisscrossing the country trying to find Kapland. After dodging many attempts on his life, he meets Kendall and starts to get some help unraveling who Kapland is and why people want him dead. Thornhill meets with the CIA and come up with a plan to trick the spies and removing any suspicion from Kendall and killing Kapland. The trick works and the spies are leaving the country that night, but Kendall is leaving with them. Thornhill thinks that Kendall is still in danger and goes to the safe house on Mount Rushmore to save Kendall. This is the Hitchcock movie to end all Hitchcock movies. Hitchcock does an amazing job with all the shots including the famous airplane seen where Cary Grant faces off against the airplane and wins. From start to finish this movie keep you guessing and laughing the whole time.
