In spite of an excellent cast, cinematography, and production values, something vital seems to have been left on the cutting-room floor. There are details that work quite well, such as-in one scene- Peter's slight Irish accent, which becomes more and more pronounced as he becomes more and more enraged. But for the story arc to work, a key piece of information has to be hidden-clumsily- until it can be trotted out at the most effective moment. When that moment comes, at first it doesn't make sense, then it just seems artificial and unfair. Maybe it won't seem that bad to you, but the twist undermined the story for me. If you can put up with that lack of authenticity, the characters are well-drawn and believable, and the locations are convincing.
