Bruce Robertson (James McAvoy) is an awful person. What happens to him and what he does to others is awful. Overall he is awful personified. He is troubled, charismatic, funny, and manipulative. But he is also crazy. What an excellent character! James McAvoy does a very memorable job playing such as complex and compelling character. I knew I should hate him yet he was so much fun to watch. The way he goes about his life is so very cheeky and naughty you want to like him, especially his ease with women. Yet behind it all is a deeply troubled man.
I really want to talk more about this film but it's difficult to remain spoiler free. Just go see it!
I have only one main gripe with the film: I don't recall seeing any resolution of the crime, which sets the context for Bruce's story. It seemed to me that something was missing or edited out.
