Far from entertaining

Rating: 5/10 (6 January 2014)

To say that this movie is overrated is an understatement. It is practically a scam to have a movie like this be given so many positive reviews. I have disagreed with the critics before, but never to this extent. The movie is a complete dud, it is slow and dull from the beginning until the end. You'll sit and wait for it to get better, hoping for at least a half-clever twist at the end, but you'll only be more disappointed as the credits draw closer. With a 92% rating from Rotten Tomatoes and a Metascore of 90%, it seems like IMDb finally has one of the most accurate ratings for once, but it is still highly inflated (currently at 7.9). Sure, the acting is good, and the story is OK, but the entertainment value of this movie is far below average. I have yet to find a friend or family member that watched and recommends this movie. If you still decide to waste your time watching it because of all the great reviews, at least save some money and view it at home. I'd rate it lower to try to offset the positive reviews, but an honest score puts it below average at 5/10
