soo soo bad, painful

Rating: 1/10 (4 October 2011)

Signed up to IMDb purely to warn others that this film will annoy you.. Stay away, it should have a hazard warning on the cover. Very slow film that never gets going, fair enough i prob don't appreciate any of the arty farty great stuff in this film, but it was miss-advertised to me. I was hoping for action, car chases, brawls, interesting charismatic characters. Like suggested in the trailer.. All i got was a cringe-worthy, wet Ryan gosling that was, well awkward to watch. I still have haunting memories of this film, for instance the countless scenes where him and her ( it'll make sense if you watch it ) just sit in her flat staring at each other with horrific music playing.
Rant over, could have gone on a lot longer..... basically i have no idea why this film is currently rated at 8.4??? If you want to see a film around that rating that deserves it, try Goodfellas, Scarface, The Departed. They are engrossing, memorable and impressive. This is total rubbish
