Roger Ebert had much the same thoughts re craft, pacing and editing of the film, although he thought it more Hitchcock than Welles.

I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Belushi's part is brief—but he plays it up. It's also a nice role for Cattrall—who I only know from Sex and the City. And Ewan McGregor nails the main role.

There's a lovely "not-quite-noir" feel to the film that does remind of Hitchcock. Very deftly done.

The Coen Brothers would have taken this over the top—and you come away thinking that a lot of restraint was exercised in the making of the film, and that it's all to good effect.
