Not that good

Rating: 6/10 (6 December 2016)

This movie is... OK but not so good. The plot itself is good and at times it is funny and entertaining but overall it lacks depth and seems to be lost in a limbo between comedy and drama without reaching the level of coherence and fluidity of other great movies and TV shows of its genre.
The movie begins at medium pace and appears as though it's going to pick up, but never really does. It basically crawls throughout the movie and at the end it finally sprints toward the finish line. I usually enjoy Jennifer Lawrence's performances, but in this movie I IMO, she was a little outside of her comfort zone. Somehow I feel as though she overacts and underacts at the same time. She's trying too much in an inconsistent matter that end up looking half awkward and not very genuine. Kind of like an SNL impersonation skit where it is done purposely and ironically in the context of a comical skit.
Other than that, the other Character performances were good, I almost forgot that Christian Bale is also the batman. Finally, Louis C.K in a "serious" role was interesting as a reminder that the movie (and life in general?) shouldn't be taken too seriously.
