What a waste of talent.

Rating: 3/10 (3 February 2014)

Severely disappointed. I don't usually see movies based on critics reviews, but I had a lot of high hopes for this film. It was raunchy, and pointless. The story was not all that intriguing from the get go, the dialog was dry. The character development was slow and pointless.
Yes, I understand the director, David O Russell is all about characters and simple plots. But, if the characters aren't interesting and you don't have a plot to fall back on, you just have nothing.
At one point I did feel like walking out. The scene cuts are brutally long. Alfonso Cuaron has mastered the extended cuts. David O Russell has butchered it here.
The only positive note is that our movie tickets were free, so we didn't actually pay to see it. I don't recommend this film. Don't believe the hype behind it.
