I love Paul Giamatti. Since seeing hin in Amerian Splendor and then again in Sideways, he became my favourite actor working in Hollywood today.OK so he is a bit type-cast and generally his best films (over his not-so-best) are usually as a down-on-his-luck troubled soul character angle. This film is no execption, but his character in this has a bit more backbone, is more defiant and less well liked.
He is bigger than this film though, at times its scrappy and unfocused, especially the first 20 minutes or so. Once those steps are out of the way it settles down into the meat on the bone and we are off in familar Giamatti territory.
It doesn't reach the hights of those previous two films I mentioned, but it was still well worth the wait from my point of view.
Did I mention Paul Giamatti is great in this?
