Please believe me when I tell you these are integrated seamlessly into the seemingly serial murder plot. What is true and how do you know it? And just when you think you have all the answers, is there another alternative scenario you haven't even remotely entertained that is equally plausible? Yes, by the way, but that's no spoiler. Hurt is masterful as the pompous but brilliant Oxford don. The others all help make the movie work well enough. I don't know whether "Lorna" was in the original novel on which this is based but her character makes its own pleasant contribution as well.
Movies in Theaters
Al principio es lenta, y no acaba de convencer. John Hurt makes this movie at least a 5. Elijah Wood makes it a 3. The math and higher end concepts make it a 6. Overall, above average, decent movie to sit through at home with coffee and a warm cinnamon roll.

Elijah Wood delivers one of the worst lead acting performances I've ever seen. Hard to know whether the film, which tries to impress with its erudition, would have worked better with a competent lead. But with a clinker in the lead role, the film never takes off, and plays like a Elijah Wood delivers one of the worst lead acting performances I've ever seen. But with a clinker in the lead role, the film never takes off, and plays like a pretentious intro to philosophy When the gorgeous girls start to eye up Wood you know the film has been hopelessly miscast.
It was entertaining, but when the conclusion or mystery's unraveling must be painstakingly explained, something's wrong. Maybe I'm just not Pythagorean enough to get it.
The film tries awfully hard to sell itself as a "smart" film by densely packing the script with big words and setting itself at Oxford with actors speaking with posh British accents, but it's really just a poorly-acted, miserably-directed farce whose purpose is only to make idiots think themselves members of Mensa for having understood what John Hurt or Elijah Wood was saying. The word choice in the script, Wood's lines especially, attempt to make the characters sound like the Oxonians they supposedly are, but everything that comes out of their mouths is really nothing but pure idiocy.
Truly an awful, awful film. A decent film for the intellectual, I guess, but confusing if math is not a strong point.
