We're introduced to a supporting
cast who could normally knock your socks off at ten paces (John C Reilly, Ben Whishaw & Ashley Jensen) but they disappear from the story and the screen when Farrell escapes into nearby woods where he falls
in love with Rachel Weisz who delivers the
single most monotone & depressing voiceover throughout the film I've ever heard and struggles against Lea Seydoux as the tiresome «villain» of the
piece.
