Colin Farrell is brilliant as Ray who alternates between comedy and sadness in a very natural way and his interaction with Brendan Gleeson was one of the strongest moments of the film As for Ralph Fiennes as Harry their crazy boss he was awesome and terrifying but he adds a humorous flavor in his own strange way.
