... Mark Strong, I believe.I haven't seen it yet but I've read/heard that he "steals" the movie based on strength of performance.
Leonardo's brow is still getting a workout? I swear that's all I can see in his "manly" roles. It's apparently the sole vehicle he's using to impress us with his transition from youthful heartthrob to capable leading man. I'm still unconvinced.
Listening to some aural snippets of his performance makes me think he's still no more than a two-trick pony. Good looks being one of those. I put him in the same box with Keanu Reeves. Calling them inscrutable is being kind.
