Reunites Zaillian with Conrad Hall from 1993's wonderful Searching for Bobby Fischer.
Not absolutely convinced by Travolta's lopsided grin - Robert Duvall though is wonderful. I notice that hands (restless, anguished etc) are often prominent. Conrad is doing his usual lighting the unexpected, favouring desk lamps and trying to draw the colour out of everything (I laughed at the 'blue' skies in a couple of scenes). Plus water, and glasses.
Also with Tony Shaloub, Zeljko Ivanek, William H Macy, John Lithgow, an impressive James Gandolfini and - of all people - Stephen Fry.
Most rewarding. Usually well written.
