![]() Phantom Halo tries to pull off a similar con, sending high-culture signals that comment on the gritty crime story that gives it structure. His acting is a diversion from the real action: his older brother (Luke Kleintank) dexterously picking the pockets of the assembled audience. A struggling kid (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) performs a pasted-together Richard III soliloquy on Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade-the speech including “I clothe my naked villainy / With old odd ends stolen out of holy writ.” It’s the kind of slightly obvious high-culture/low-setting scene that might be found in a dozen films about a young man coming into his own. The best scene in Antonia Bogdanovich’s Phantom Halo seems like a guide to the film itself.
