Film icon Robert Mitchum epitomised the detective who slowly deliberately unraveled murder mysteries. His swaggering walk, his talk, his "less is more" performances were brilliant...But now Del Toro's awesome performance sets a new and higher standard for the tough no nonsense badass intelligent detective. His character is focused on finding the culprit and despite some missteps...well... watch to see the "surprise" climax. So yes a 10 for DelToro ...the rest of the cast try but cannot compete with the natural magnetism and deliberate patience of Del Toro. The only actor who comes close to a respectable performance is the understated but sneaky character performed by Timberlake - is he the reptile? The musical score is a blah...the set design and cinematography could use some inspiration...
