Wish it was longer!

Director Lucky McKee is otherwise a good match for Jack Ketchum's material, but here he was fired in the middle of the shoot, and replaced with Hotel Cæsar director Trygve Allister Diesen. The result is pretty good.

There are some cinematic deficiencies here, but the material is tough as hell, and Brian Cox, what a man.

I like De Niro's suits. Not so sure about all the other stuff.

Christopher Plummer is fantastic, Mélanie Laurent is irresistable, Ewan McGregor is as boring as always. Good writing. The whole is somewhat less than the sum of its parts.
