First thing i want to address that i have seen here, is that christopher plummer WAS NOT superimposed on kevin spacey's face. he was removed completely and all his scenes reshot with plummer. that being said, when i saw the original commercial, i couldn't understand why they cast spacey in the first place. he looked TERRIBLE. plummer was a much better choice, and the studio is crazy for not originally realizing that. now onto the film itself, i feel like i'm maybe writing this review prematurely because this film was quite slow, but i don't think that was a bad thing. i never checked my watch or wanted them to speed it up, i was just surprised that a ridley scott movie WOULD be slow. that being said, there was something missing about the film and i think it was the casting. i think it would have been a complete disaster with spacey. michelle williams was awful as always, mark wahlberg was uneventful, and the kid who played III just annoying. that being said, not the worst film, just anti-climatic.
