I hated Reynolds, I always do. He was way too over the top in that role, which I blame partially on poor writing. Brolin's portrayal was so much more subtle, the "Im coming apart" scene is one of my all-time favourite horror performances. You cared about his character, he was a nice guy and well written. His decent into madness seemed that much more disturbing, and when he finally snapped out of it at the end it was a relief. Reynolds on the other hand was a prick to begin with. He seemed ready to crack right from the start, which really detracted from the whole power of the house deal.
But like I say, I was pre-occupied during a few parts. I can get this used really cheap, Im thinking of picking it up sometime soon to give it another chance.
