But he’s always worth watching either way.

Look forward to hearing the score too, I’ve heard good things. Even though I’m not a huge fan of Hamlisch it’s great to see directors revisiting the past – especially the 70′s – by giving fresh opportunities to composers long ago discarded for a new wave of generic sound designers!

Fincher did the same by hiring David Shire to score Zodiac and his sparse score fitted like a glove between the source music. Made for a great little CD too.

I agree. It’s a great performance but so many things about this film are just dull – cinematography, production design and the general sense of exhaustion that comes when you immediately realise Whitacre is going to fall, big time. I personally would have given this film 2 and a half stars only!
