I liked it. Once again I say that Liev Schreiber is a seriously underrated actor.

@scancom and Malkovich may be overrated. But when John's on he's on. Looking forward to seeing this—in my queue. Wonder how RKO 281 (2000) will stack against Mank (2020), David Fincher's flick which was underwhelming.

RKO 281 is a very underrated movie I haven't seen alot of people talking about. It's based in part upon the real-life story of the behind the scenes of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, and in part of the documentary The Battle over Citizen Kane that made as a part of The American Experience.
