>Ted: *"My dick has evidence."*
Judge: *"Excuse me?"*
Ted: *"My dick... my private investigator. I call him Dick."*

It borrows a lot from *Silence of the Lambs*; a convicted killer taken into custody and an investigator on the outside trying to solve a puzzle.

Anthony Hopkins does his usual character, the highly intelligent psychotic mysterious tactician with a polite accent. He had a few solid comedic moments that I really enjoyed and he looked like he was having a blast in court. Ryan Gosling + Rosamund Pike = HOT duo. Pike really shined whenever she was on-screen, wanted more. Gosling was solid in the main role, I just wish we knew a little bit more about his character.

I was invested in the first half the mystery had me intrigued but it lost some heat after that and became a bit of a drag. Too much focus on the murder weapon perhaps. But thankfully it picked back up in the last 30 minutes. I expected more from the twist but it does the job I guess, the same can be said for the movie as a whole; nothing too special but it does the job.
