Kovacs holds his own in this


With such a stellar cast it must have been a challenge for Kovacs, but he does a great job in an understated role as Segura. Love the final line from Guiness that he is not without humor, meaning the present he gives Guiness, but Kovacs was also a comedy pioneer on TV. Left us far too soon.

He was absolutely brilliant in this film. His brief talk on the "torturable class" for example. He stayed spot on character throughout. His expressions, his mannerisms all brilliant. How did he ever come to this role, I wonder?

I agree Toshi51, he was BRILLIANT. I'm not even that familiar with his work although I am aware of his legacy, but in every one of his scene, I kept saying to myself, "He is perfect in this, such great timing." What a treasure he was!
