Alfred Molina, Hope Davis and Marcia Gay Harden all shine in
very meaty roles and the credits are all top notch, especially Carter Burwell's score with a spot - on perfect song over the end credits.
Secondary players like Albert Brooks (Drive), David Oyelowo (Selma), Alessandro Nivola (The Company), Peter Gerety (The Wire), Glenn Fleshler (Boardwalk Empire), and Elyes Gabel (World War Z) all get
meaty enough
roles playing morally gray figures caught up in Abel's mission - though the film itself doesn't use any of them for
very distinctive purposes.
