Kevin Spacey gives a charismatic performance that brims with panache and great comedic timing. Occasionally, he almost veers toward campiness. He's clearly having a lot of fun in his role. He truly invigorates the film, so it's worth seeing for his performance alone. Rebecca De Mornay has a few scenes where she gets to shine, especially toward the end. There's violence, but no gore and very little blood. The blood even looks a little stylized, so it's not disturbing or shocking like in Love Lies Bleeding. At a running time of 1 hour and 41 minutes, Peter Five Eight is a wildly entertaining, gripping and wickedly funny crime thriller. 10/10.
