I wanted to like it

Rating: 2/10 (8 July 2014)

I really wanted to like it, but.... This is the first review of a movie I'm ever writing. I decided to do it because I never saw so many positive reviews for a movie that I consider mediocre at best. I just finished watching it and I'm not impressed a bit. I read some reviews and at least 30 review headlines and I don't see any of the "super" things all the people are writing about. Maybe there's something wrong with me or I'm too stupid to get it.
It's not boring at all, I didn't fast forward even once, but what I don't like is the message it's giving to people watching it. You can do whatever you want and if you're just a bit lucky you not just get away with it, but you even get awarded.
I hate Alex. I hate him for everything he's done and got away with it with little or no consequences at all. Maybe that's the point of the movie, but it's just wrong. It reminded me of Trainspotting, but with a different ending.
Maybe it's supposed to be like that to warn the future politicians, lawmakers and the elite to change something or our future will be like that...
