The definition of SUSPENSE is NORTH BY NORTHWEST

Rating: Null/10 (19 April 1999)

N by NW is without a doubt the greatest suspense movie ever made. Hitchcock doesn't waste any time in the beginning of the movie, instead we see Roger Thornhill (Grant) immediately subdued by two estranged men who think he is George Caplan. A severe case of mistaken identity that leads to a never ending fight to find out why he is being chased and who Caplan really is. To tell you more about the plot would ruin the film for you. Famous for its crop dusting sequence and the Mount Rushmore sequence, but also be aware of the various get away scenes. The music is unbelievable and willingly suspenseful, it really gets your heart pounding. Yes that is Hitchcock during the opening credits who misses the bus. It is #6 on my top 50 list. 4 stars out of 4. Rent it tonight with your friends. -Jake Klim
