Won't bore you with the details or spoil it But this is yet another great Burton movie and role. He's just got such class, he never hams, he never tries too hard yet he always steals every scene. he reminds me of other great Welsh actors like Tony Hopkins, Ray Milland, Christian bale, Jonathon pryce, Stanley Baker, Ioan Gruffudd, Rhys Ifans, michael sheen (plays Blair in "The Queen.") etc His class integrity intensity discipline animal like charisma fuelled this great movie. As did a great plot and great setting. Let's hope for more of these quality pictures instead of mainstream drivel and greedy producers. let's buck trends, let's back the writers and the talent. let's be meritocratic and we can all benefit
