Search: Starring Jim Sturgess

Kevin Spacey is really the highlight of the film. Every scene he's in springs to life, his laid back performance blowing the younger cast out of the water.

Overall a mixed bag. Good bits. Great bits. Bits in which you want the ground underneath your reclining cinema chair to open and swallow you up.

A series of pieces that each, in its own right, has some merit, but which together never quite gels.

Tornatore's film makes deft use of cinematic cliché to lead viewers astray.

This is a film that will be enjoyed most by people who haven't seen many other films.

Despite trying a little too hard to be cool and edgy, this is nevertheless an entertaining thriller with a decent twist.

The film is at its strongest when it's exploring the nature of manipulation and who, exactly, is manipulating whom.

Disbelief is suspended by a thread so fine it is in danger of snapping almost constantly.

Portraying a woman of such character is no easy task, and it's unfortunate that the task has fallen to Natalie Portman.

The pitting of Kingsley against Caine in this context is delightful.

The story is a singular achievement, but the film is overly episodic.
