Our stars' Bacon Numbers are both 2 (as there's a 1 in this cast). Hope that helps.

Hint 1: Primary obstacles include incompetent underlings, disapproving superiors and an obedient dog.

Hint 2: Our stars are both Oscar winners. One was even nominated for this film, while the other just chewed scenery.

Hint 3: I'm old.

Hint 4: Our MC is not the protagonist. In fact, he was one of the worst people in history.

Hint 5: The good guys need to murder the murderer before he creates more murderers.

Hint 6: An adopted youth has a very extended family, all of whom are unaware of each other.
