This is a weak moment in Burton's filmography. It lacks the energy and the drama to lift this interesting story. It's not boring and it's very well made, with a nice sense of humor at times but it just feels like it lacks passion and a clear view of what kind of movie it wants to be. Burton is usually a master of mixing comedy, drama, horror and romance but not this time unfortunately. The whole ending is anticlimatic and Waltz almost ruins the picture. He is out of control in a movie of his own. I loved Terence Stamp though.
