Highlights:

- Ryan Gosling was the surprise package. This is the best I have seen of him - Stylish, charismatic and delivers nicely. Rosamund Pike is beautiful and is pleasing when on screen.
- The twists to the tale make this crime-thriller a worthwhile watch.
Hannibal Lecter, minus the psychological convolutions!
