The other reviewers have already done an excellent job of encapsulating the plot here, so I'll just add my voice to what seem universal accolades. This movie was not only intellectually intriguing, it was endlessly entertaining, and my attention didn't flag for a moment. I attribute this not only to the excellent script, dialogue, and pacing, but to the superlative acting, which was so natural, so spontaneous, and so intuitive that I literally never "got off the train" throughout. I could single out Ryan Reynolds, of course, because he carried the movie seamlessly and convincingly, but his whole supporting cast was just as great, and inhabited their various roles completely. Wow! Not just an absorbing movie to watch, but much nourishing food for thought.
