Stellar Performances

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2018)

I love rewatching this film. Edward Norton, Jessica Biel, Rufus Sewell and Eddie Marsan all give great performances. That being said, In my opinion Paul Giamatti stole this movie. He is the victorian gruff voiced police inspector who finds himself caught between the antagonists and protagonists. Caught between his admiration and duty.
I'd seen him in his early character actor roles, but I've been following his career closely since 'Sideways' where he proved he could carry a film as the lead. He towers above some amazing actors in 'The Illusionist' which speaks to his abilities. As I said, everyone in this film does an excellent job, but I rewatch this movie to see Paul's performance.
