    You strike me as the kind of guy who's on the lookout for a head he can knock off with a shovel.

They do a great job of creating the tension, or Johnny Depp does, as he's alone on screen for about half the movie. The rest of the cast is excellent and gives exactly what is needed to bring the movie, and the audience, to a natural conclusion.
