I am not sure in any way why this has an average rating. I do agree that the casting missed but not nearly enough to hurt the film. I like Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but he was out done in this film, but who stands with Hopkins? I thought Abbie Cornish did fine. She was a good fit.
The cat and mouse that kicks into gear about midway to two-thirds is riveting. Hopkins carries the film throughout and Ferrell holds his own. The plot makes you think about one of life's unanswerable questions. Well, maybe some have answered it for themselves in one way or another but certainly not in this context.
A well paced and well acted film that I think should not be missed.
