Such a overrated movie

Rating: 4/10 (6 May 2014)

This movie is the epitome of a pretentious and self-indulgent movie. And not just for the director, the actors and actresses as well. It's a mediocre plot, with actors and actresses showing off how much of a dazzling and showmanship like performances they can pull off. Except maybe Jeremy Renner who actually put on a believable performance for the most part. It's somewhat of a serious movie with those awkward comedic parts. Now I am one of those audiences that likes awkward humor if it's integrated and utilized well but that isn't the case for this movie. Now I like David O. Russell past films, however this one suffers from too much ambition or something. This isn't a awful movie, but it's a snooze fest of a movie with actors and actresses playing childish and immature characters. Although the characters are suppose to be professionals. Now I have seen these types of movies before such as in Coen brothers films, Woody Allen films and etc. But in this, it just isn't done well and just doesn't have any of those clever or witty moments. Some critics seem to go on about how good the dialogues are, I personally can't remember a single one. I give this movie a 4.5/10 mainly because the ending is at least tied in well.
4.5/10
