In this film, the characters are quite good, but they’re elevated by exceptional acting. Bill Skarsgård portrays Eddie Barrish, our unlucky car thief, a role that was originally intended for Glen Powell, whom I find to be an outstanding actor. However, it appears that the character fits Skarsgård better. His appearance matches the character perfectly, and his emotional struggles seem genuine, although sometimes his speech trails off or becomes mumbled, leaving only a few lines crystal clear. On the other hand, Anthony Hopkins delivers William with such elegance and charm, making him an elegant supervillain who deserves better recognition. Some of his lines are pitch-perfect, and it’s evident that he enjoyed delivering lines like “Tough titty” and questioning what Gummy Bears were.
