    The lead performances could hardly be better: Gosling, having stolen and propped up entire movies last year ("Murder by Numbers" and "The Believer"), crackles with the economical intensity of a young Tim Roth. Morse, who has racked up decades worth of idiosyncratic character parts, is monumental in this career-peak turn.

    The film's real strength lies in two excellent performances, from veteran Morse and up-and-comer Gosling.

    An overwrought drama.
