The only one who was any good/well-cast in this was Aaron Johnson....
and Salma Hayak, of course, 'cause she's Salma Hayak :)
Benicio Del Toro was ridiculous....so not scary, and Taylor Kitsch was wooden as hell, and very non scary/intimidating, as the character in the book is supposed to be, so was Blake Lively (mis-cast).
That being said - it was alright. Lovely images of California/Mexico, and the house was cool. And Blake Lively had pretty tattoos.
