I was wondering who might have been better than Laurie, but second guessing is part of critical review. I thought his fake lightness and chatter was good personality context to carry within it his sociopathic deadliness. Calling his sadistic killer bodyguards Frisky and Tabby was genius, showing this false demeanor to the n-th degree. Pretty good stuff IMO.
Pulling Hiddleston into the fold was plausible. Replacing the top man in the group with him was not, but that is the basis for the story. You have to buy in.
I took some of the lucky coincidences of the end as showing how far ahead Pine was of Roper in the head games dept. Even the very end, when the Egyptian "businessmen" jumped the cops to take Roper away for justice. An unauthorized prearrangement by Pine that surprised everyone.
I didn't want to stop watching a minute of it, and I use that to gage how good this was. I think very.
