Good Story - Terrible Casting

Rating: 5/10 (15 April 2018)

I liked the movie and it tells an important story; however, throughout watching the movie I just kept asking myself - why Ryan Reynolds? Let's be honest, he'd be more believable as the poster boy for the Hitler youth movement than as his role playing the Jewish attorney Randy Schoenberg. I'm not suggesting that you have a Jew play a Jew, but Reynolds was so out of character that in my opinion it detracted from the film. Perhaps they thought by have Reynold's as the male lead, they'd attract a larger audience. I guess we'll never know one way or the other.
