This film feels like a Hollyindie (a Hollywood Indie) with a cast that includes Will Ferrel, Maggie Glyenhall, Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson and Queen Latifah, yet due to the nature of the plot and they way it is shot feels like an off-beat indie comedy. Its not an obvious choose for Anchorman to take a role in which he has to play a deadpan auditor obsessed with numbers and with a very dark backdrop of plot but it works and he pulls it off.
The film is engaging and entertaining throughout, really make you wonder what is round the corner, even if the narrative is a little stilted at times and although the film is about the narration Ferrell hears, it is rather irratiting.
At first the conclusion appears to be a complete cop-out, but the film is aware enough to argue its case cleverly with the characters to its choice and it does it well, ensuring that a feeling of dissatisfaction isn't felt as the credits roll.
Yeh, its a good film, with a strong cast. Theres plenty of fun and thinking material here.
