Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme features one of the best performances by Benicio del Toro that I have ever seen. While his last few films have not been widely loved by fans, I have rather enjoyed them. Because of del Toro's performance, as well as Michael Cera's, The Phoenician Scheme has skyrocketed to the top of the list of recent Anderson films for me. This movie is star-studded, per usual, and delivers on Anderson's signature look, but it also explores themes of nature versus nurture in a very entertaining way. If it is playing at a theater near you, and you dig Anderson's style, I highly recommend checking it out.
