Maybe MM's amazing character colored it for me along with WH's flawless interplay...

I can't quite decide if this is Vaughn as an actor or part of the character itself. It seems they are trying to portray his character as a kind of imposter, trying to be the big business man when really he is still just that small time boss (Stringer Bell comes to mind for Wire fans). He uses his five dollar words and is trying to do all the right things to be the legitimate, but he keeps getting sucked back down to street level, where he really belongs. He seems stilted and disjointed when he is doing his business deals, but knows just how to act when he has to get things done back down in the gutter. Just my thoughts.
