He deserves a Best Actor nomination, if not to win it.
Subtle, shaded, entirely establishing a real man in history's blood, sweat and tears, I hope he is recognised with some award for this performance.

Think about the moment when the group leave their forest home and are faced with crossing the water; his face and posture carry everything this man has been through- the killing, the illness, the mental sapping to keep the refugees solid and safe.
Right there in that minute is a reason to give Craig the highest accolades.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but when the trailers came out about a year ago, I put this movie on my need to see list. I'm not surprised by your recommendation.

Hi Tabuno. The movie itself is kinda placid, a little dreary, though well made all the same.
But this is Craig's movie. He nails it and gives the viewer someone to truly care about.

After seeing Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace, can't wait to see him in this role. I'm also a big fan of historically based films... hoping to see it this weekend.
