Boring, Boring, ...and MORE Boring!

Rating: 2/10 (17 January 2014)

Just going by the reviews, this movie became a giant LETDOWN for me! First off, I'm a film snob, yes. I watch A LOT of movies, and for sake of argument, I know a lot more movies that are a lot more entertaining & make more sense than this one. This film totally seems like a rip-off of many other cool movies, filled with clichés about drug dealers, profanity, fast driving, catch phrases; but these LONG shots and the feel of the movie fails in every way to make them seem entertaining.
I like Ryan Gosling, he's done well in other films (i.e. Remember the Titans, The Notebook, etc.). But okay, in this film, he's supposed to be the "COOLEST guy in the WORLD!" No way hosay! And Bryan Cranston is in this film too, but he's so much better in Breaking Bad; as well as Albert Brooks Albert Brooks & Ron Perlman. In this film, there're all TOTALLY void of acting, depth, being likable, and interesting. It's almost as if M. Night Shamalan directed this movie. NO ONE lightens up in this movie! The entire feel of the film is void of any character development, interesting plots, likable characters, sense, or situations.
Usually the film focuses on LONG takes, just forcing to BEG that something will happen - and when they do, they're not nearly as interesting as anything that happens in the Fast & Furious series.
I'm not kidding: after watching this movie, I took a nap for about an HOUR! It was THAT boring. It was totally surprising too.
BAD movie! NON-interesting, Ryan Gosling has BETTER films he should be known for, NOT THIS!
2/10
