It's the actors, stupid!

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2012)

WARNING, may contain spoilers. Malkovich, Malcovich, Malkovich. WOW! He simply steals the show. Did you notice that he is ALWAYS right when he wants to kill someone? Everyone is sooo flippant about the situation it actually comes off as brutally funny. My sons and I actually watched it four nights in a row, because we kept discovering details previously missed. Like "the Party" a lot is going on in the background that can only be noticed in multiple viewings. Pure silliness of a story, but the script and the delivery of the lines are simply outstanding. Simple, unfiltered, unmitigated fun. Next time you watch it, check out the background action. I also liked the nice subtle expressions by Karl Urban. Simply good acting.
