I am a "little person" with a similar body type as the character Gary Oldman played. I had never heard of this movie until tonight when I was flicking through cable and it had already started. I watched for an hour thinking to myself that this guy looked like Gary Oldman... "holy crap this guy could play a dwarf Gary Oldman in some sort of movie". I finally realized it was him when they would never show his feet.
A lot of people said in there reviews that he wasn't convincing but I'll tell ya as someone who looks like he was supposed to, he was convincing! There were some key things he did which I thought was impressive. He never fully straightened his elbows or fingers. People like me are naturally like that due to arthritis and other bone ailments.
Anyway I'm still extremely annoyed that another movie with a "little person" as a lead role is played by a "regular" person. I could have played the part since I look a lot like the character. I also would have loved to have been smooching with Kate Beckinsale!! I would have done the movie for free just for that opportunity LOL
