Finnes, Abraham, Goldblum, turn in stellar performances. Edward Norton's performance left something to be desired. Jude Law, Harvey Keitel, and Jude Law are all solid.Mathieu Amalric and Saoirse Ronan are enjoyable. Bill Murray is Bill Murray. It has a lot of funny moments. Overall, I'd say 3* out of 5.
