disappointed

Rating: 6/10 (23 January 2015)

I had heard a lot of great things about this movie and was looking forward to watching it but was sadly disappointed.
Although a little dark and of a similar style to Oscar winning million dollar baby,this film was a little slow and lacked any real tension. Perhaps it could have contained a little more action and the action that it did contain was a little ultra violent for my liking. Maybe I'm a bigger fan of Hollywood than I like to admit. This said it makes it a perfect candidate for Hollywoods biggest accolade,the Oscar.
Its hard to judge the acting when there is not enough action or dialogue. Overall,there was some good acting with some good supporting roles but perhaps even too Hollywood for Hollywood. Even the biggest gosling fans might find this one disappointing.
