I'm not such a fan of any actor that I would call anything they do brilliant.
Unfortunately, there seem to be plenty of reviewers who feel an actor can do no wrong. At least plenty here.
Dafoe's problem is he picked the wrong movie and probably didn't read or understand what was going on.
I couldn't get past the plot holes although I made it to the end.
Holes A Penthouse full of expensive paintings/Art but no eternal alarm system, just straight lock down after they've been broken into and no security check. Odd.
No external Fire Alarm in a building that would have strong fire monitoring. Stupid.
A separate watering system for the plants that isn't connected to the mains water? Highly unlikely. Not to mention they apparently didn't come on till he was just about dead, then it was frequently.
No way to exit a locked apartment without a key? Not likely or legal.
Went mad almost immediately? Maybe, but must have had a loose grip on reality from the start.
Fish that feed themselves? Stupid number 2.
Electricity to run the fridge and no way of communicating with the outside world? And he could have turned the sound off, fridges are funny like that, you can programme them.
I would have thought that there would have been a periodic check on the apartment by management for the art work, fish, plants, fire alarm, AC (that was playing up) and security alarm and a freshen up clean at least once a month ... but those fish hmm
A contrived story that probably should have stayed in the writers head. It's a 2 for Dafoe's attempt to make something out of not much.
