    Crowe is less lazy in this film. He moves around much more and... looks a little slimmer? Maybe it's just movie magic but all this potential cut weight is wasted as we're still stuck with almost 2 hours of run time. The twists aren't that amazing or necessary or whatever. It's fine. It's been done before...a little long.
