Anybody know "A Number" (2008 TV movie)?

This film, listed under TV movies in his filmography, is an absolute tour de force for Rhys. His versatility continues to astound me.

Playing clones of himself (3 speaking parts out of 20-something clones) in one film, all noticeably and radically different personalities played with subtle clues, has to be one helluva test of acting ability, and he absolutely crushed it. Tom Wilkinson, who plays his father and is the only other actor (except one minor role) in the film, is also excellent, but Rhys blows him off the screen.

He's a long way from Notting Hill -- another great performance -- and the football field ("The Replacements", which I could watch forever), and just keeps surprising me. THANK YOU, Rhys.
