Proof why Brando...
is one of the greatest American actors ever. He's shown that he can take on any type of role and do it well.
Here he takes a rather simple role and imbues it with a personality of multiple facets and does so with his unique way of using even the smallest facial expressions and motions. Nothing is overplayed nor too subtle.
Other parts are well played also, including Robert Duvall, EG Marshall, James Fox, but Brando makes this film one to see for his performance.
