I just added this one the my growing list of "to see" Daniel Craig movies.

Craig plays James Lynchehaun an Irish peasant that is awfully sneaky. Greta Scacchi plays Agnes MCDonnell a very rich divorcée who becomes involved with Craig when he becomes the manager of her estate. Unfortunately his dark side is revealed a little too late.

While watching it I was pleasantly surprised. Its a fascinating little story. Craig is absolutely sinful, its much different than most of the roles I have seen him in and he goes from accent to accent with great ease. Kudos to Craig. Scacchi does a fantastic job going from tough independent woman to a slave to her feelings. Really nice film. If you have a chance to see it, I recommend you do.
