A slick thriller by the numbers from the Hollywood machine that only holds up because of the performances of great actors. It's great fun to watch Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling matching wits as a brilliant criminal and a brilliant lawyer. Hopkins delivers a devilish performance that reminds of his Hannibal Lector that toys with young hot shot lawyer Gosling who's sort of a male version of Clarice Sterling. The film is as good as it gets given the material and its limitations that would have been a disaster with a different cast. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
