Jeff Bridges was incredible - the girl was kind of stupid. I couldn't suspend disbelief for that character. She needed to be humanized and made plausible, and the actress did neither, and was still annoying me with her put-on accent at the end. Matt Damon was Jason Bourne - 500 with an accent but it wasn't jarring and went with the story.
With a better actress that would have been a truly great movie.
One thing that sticks with me - in that one scene in the woods, how does Jeff Bridges pack so much menace into the look he gives the guy that walks up on them? For an actor who does laid back roles all the time, that is the most menace I've ever seen in one expression. Great actor. Unlike most he deserved his nomination.
