Fuck me! Looking through the cast list other names I recognise (and like):
Billy Crudup
Keir Dullea
Tim Hutton
Chaz Palminteri (didn't he win an Oscar for screenplay for A Bronx Tale?)
Jason Patric
and I'm guessing probably another 100 'faces' that I couldn't put a name to but have seen in character roles.
And as important as the faces on screen, De Niro has Robert Richardson doing the cinematography, he's about as good as they get in the US. He was the man that 'made' Oliver Stone, the one Tarantino picked for the Kill Bills, and the one Scorcese has used a few times recently as well (particularly for the distinctive look on The Aviator).
When Bob call they all come running! Trailer looks like a top notch thriller, looking forward to this one.
Had been looking forward to this one for awhile, when a DVD screener appeared, I thought it was Christmas (Well it was but thats besides the point).
Very underwhelmed. Great cast, great acting, great subject matter, it just went nowhere storywise. It just didn't seem to have a point, what a waste of a great line up of actors.
