Not in love with the movie, but John Hurt's performance in it was worthy of an Oscar nomination — a truly disturbing and unforgettable performance.

Great performance by Hurt. But I really did like the movie.

Generosity, that was my first mistake

John Hurt's did an excellent job in the movie. He looks old in this movie, he was only 47, he looks 60+
