Just too Hollywood!

Rating: 2/10 (13 January 2015)

What could be a great piece of film making is marred by the never-ending habit of Hollywood film producers in embellishing reality. Warranted, we don't need to stick strictly to a true story. But when choosing to digress, why take the stereotypical road of man versus man, a duel within a wider context. What we are left with is something that is both seriously unrealistic and panders to the mainstream appetite. I can actually watch a film without an identifiable bad guy, why is it film producers aren't able to? Shame on Clint Eastwood, who I actually thought could think outside of the box that is Hollywood film making at it's worse. Great performances throughout, especially Bradley. Not as tense or as suspenseful as it could of been, and a really focus on action scenes, which again seems to contradict the aim of the film. Tut, tut.
