I'm an Adrien Brody fan and he never disappoints. All the actors were very good. I have to disagree with a previous post, that Guy Pearce doesn't know how to act and was stiff. I think the character was meant to be stiff, emotionally vacant, and self-important. I loved this movie and the length didn't bother me; it's the best I've seen in a long time. I'll go see anything with Mr Brody in it; he's a gem to be cherished.
