This flick is solid all the way through. Great performances across the board, well paced, and well shot.
It's just not great. It's a middle-of-the-pack film with a wonderful cast, but it never rises to the level of it's talent. It lacks flare - visually, while competent and well shot, there's nothing especially interesting. The acting, which, again, is the only exceptional part of the film, simply doesn't have an interesting-enough story, engaging-enough screenplay, or cleverly-staged-enough scenes to make this movie as good as I wanted it to be.
Entertaining, nonetheless.
