Hopkins is an accomplished actor but this movie and its 'hole-ridden' plot along with some amateurish 'ham' scenes let it down. So many 'holes', not least the fact that someone who had grown up with Chaval as a boy and then lived in the same small village as him (albeit in the poorer quarter) as an adult, couldn't recognise him after only three years absence! Maybe made for an English speaking audience, but as actors they could have surely at least put on a French and German inflection with their accents. The very Brit accents detracted from what there was of any realism.
