But while it lacks in originality, «10 Cloverfield Lane» is saved by Goodman,
whose dialogue delivery and quick changes in facial expressions and tone always keep us engaged in his character.
He even manages most of the material better than Michael Clarke Duncan («The Green Mile,» «The Whole Nine Yards») who is just too much of an actor to deliver the cheesy
dialogue with the right mix of sincerity and irony, and Peter Facinelli («Can't Hardly Wait,» «The Big Kahuna»),
whose thin - voiced
delivery doesn't convey the necessary petulant malevolence.
