Nothing in An Ordinary Man rings true; not the location, nor the performances nor the story.

Kingsley's domineering lead performance is worth the price of admission alone, although "An Ordinary Man" is actually a two-hander...

Kingsley delivers such a riveting performance that it becomes easy to overlook the film's less compelling aspects.

It's a curious film that I'm not certain works entirely, but the two leads are so interesting in their performance choices that I couldn't help but care where this unholy alliance was heading.
