Great character development

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2014)

To be honest, the movie's plot was not all that great. The entire conflict was not too great, in fact it was very average as movies go. With that said, it is still a great film! Its not the mediocre plot that makes it great, its the characters. The character development in the film is spectacular, by the end of the movie one feels like they can actually relate to the helplessly lost characters from the movie. Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper masterfully act out their individual characters, as do Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence. There is quite a lot of arguing and swearing, which makes the movie very intense and in some circumstances difficult to watch. Other than that its wonderful, would not recommend for under 16 year olds though.
