     Lang Thompson's was looking for examples of unreliable narrators in
     films:
 
     "Angel Heart" has the Mickey Rourke character blind to his own actions
 
     "Darling" has Julie Christie narrating to a magazine journalist a
     toned-down version of what really happened.
 
     and, although the name escapes me, the recent (last three years) film
     with Liam Neeson playing a "set-up" man fighting for his life, after
     his wife and an artist are found murdered in a Brighton hotel bedroom
     is also a fine example of narration twisted to win the audience's
     sympathies.
