I attended the World Premiere of "Solitary Man" at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival. This is clearly a vehicle for Michael Douglas and fans will fall in love with the film. It's hard to imagine these names as supporting cast members but Douglas is joined by Mary Louise Parker, Danny Devito, Jesse Eisenberg, Susan Sarandon, and Jenna Fischer. These wonderful actors could have been used to a greater extent and I found myself wanting more ensemble interaction, but kudos to all for being willing to take a back seat to Douglas. Written by Brian Koppelman and co-directed by Koppelman and David Levien, "Solitary Man" is chock full of dialogue and essentially a one-man show.
