I still think this was by far George’s best performance to date. Love this film!!

What an amazing movie: the horse scene is the first thing that comes to my mind, when I think about the film.

I'd love this movie even if George wasn't in it - but I'm awfully glad he is because I think, next to "Up In the Air", this is his best performance. Everything about it is perfect!

Did anybody know that this role was originally offered to Denzel Washington? How did I miss that? Washington turned it down, even though it was the best script he'd read in a long time, because he didn't want to work with a first-time director. And he regrets the decision.

Seriously??? Wow! I never knew that. I bet he does regret it. He'd have been great in the part...but I'm still glad George got it

Crazy, right? George's best role (IMO), and he was the backup choice.
Now that George absolutely killed it, I can't imagine anybody else in it. Not even Washington.

I'm trying to picture someone else in the role...anyone else...NOPE! Doesn't work. Same goes for all the principal parts. I think this movie was perfectly cast.
