Watching this film I first off have to say I loved the way Jim Carrey immersed himself into his role. Some people only like him when he is playing humorous roles, but I feel that his serious rolls such as this one (and others like The Number 23) are well portrayed by him. I felt that the film had a well developed corruption murder crime story line to it. I was able to foreshadow the ending a little, but it still was a good film that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The portrayal of Tadek, by Carrey was well developed and showed human character flaws that were subtle but well intertwined into the story. I love the way that David Grann, (the writer of the original story the movie is based on) ended the story with a marginal twist like adding a twist of lime to a cocktail after you have already drank half the glass and ate the olive. This film is not for everyone, but I do recommend giving it a watch, if for nothing else other than seeing Carrey explore a roll away from humor again.
