Dafoe was the most memorable of the wasted cast to me.

Unfortunately his character is made to be detestable long before his "true" nature is revealed. Branagh gives himself the most screen time, which is to be expected for the main character. Problem is, he has as much screen time as everyone else combined.

That stupid mustache was the least of my concerns watching this tepid, un-involving version of the story. My biggest concern was dropping off to sleep waiting for the inevitable solution, which was handled w/ the grace of someone carving the Hope Diamond w/ a sledgehammer.

Isn't that how Branagh always does it? I mean he gives himself the biggest roles in his own movies. Problem is he doesn't really have the charisma to pull off a role like this.

This movie was shit and you know it
