Great acting from Cumberbatch and Merab Ninidze carries the movie but it stumbles in the end when it needs to hit emotional tones. The movie has a decent script though it feels long and while Dominic Cooke keeps things interesting for most part his focus wavers towards the end and undecidedly finished the movie without leaving an emotional mark. Rachel Brosnahan was wasted in here.
