Duncan’s performance as the accused is tremendously tender and makes you question why there’s a reason for anybody to believe that his character Coffey could be capable of committing such ghastly crimes.</p><p><iframe class="media-youtube-player" width="560" height="340" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ctRK-4Vt7dA?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
