Mortenson is a fantastic actor. Not one of the top 5 working today, but certainly amongst the best. Imo, there really is no argument here.

I read the book and it was incredible....very dark but very moving. I'm a bit worried about how the film is being marketed, with Theron's character getting a lot of screen time (as one poster mentioned), simply because it is not in the book, but I am interested to see how that plays out. Also, the film appears to have a more violent tone than the book, which is worrisome because that does not capture the meaning or intention of the book. At the same time, I am really looking forward to the film and I think that it seems apparent that we'll see it as one of the (excessive) 10 oscar noms next year.
