Ben Kingsley's performance was outstanding

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 2017)

almost twenty five years since its release, and this movie has stayed in the top ten of every 'best' movie listing on the net. the acting is impeccable, camera-work is unsurpassable. casting was perfect, when i try to imagine any other actors in the roles, the movie just falls apart. Ben Kingsley as Itzhak stern, is a powerful and insightful character played with great humility and awareness. the actors experience of character acting makes this role a plausible, sympathetic role which he will forever own. coupling liam neeson and ralph fiennes, whom i consider less experienced actors of the day, worked supremely well, but led to the odd concept of a lesser actor being in the lead role and supported by a far more experienced and able actor, yet it worked perfectly.
