The weight of this movie and whether it succeeds or fails rest entirely on the two lead actors, Garrett Hedlund and Oscar Isaac. If these two fell down on the job, this movie would have been an utter disaster, but it surely was not. Hedlund is smoldering and unerringly fallible as Tom. However, the revelation for me was Isaac as the drifter. He was simply astounding in this. He delivered his dialogue as poetry, and he burned so brightly in his intensity that I couldn't look away. It was an amazing performance that totally sold the film. This is a solid piece of work by two actors in their prime - I recommend this one. 4/5
