Gary freaking Oldman. That's really all that need be said of this movie. he transformation, the facial expressions, the movement: amazing. One of my favorite all time performances. It honestly made me want a cigar, which is not (??) a good thing. The whole movie managed an exquisite use of tension, and I loved the use of music, though I'd prefer it be used more. Camera-work was crisp and consistent, and I loved the settings. Oldman absolutely stole the show, though. He's in nearly every shot, and the shots he isn't in suffer. All in all, this is his movie, and it may not be the type of performance that earns best actor anymore, but the man deserves it. Incredible
