Meh

Rating: 4/10 (16 May 2020)

Ben Affleck tries to recreate the emotion of Mystic River, and fails. It is not a coincidence that the only good thing about this movie is the plot - Dennis Lehane wrote both this and Mystic River.
However, Ben Affleck is no Clint Eastwood, in any respect. I wanted to say he should go back to acting, but Mr Affleck sucks at that too. While Clint Eastwood creates a genuine empathy in his movies, Ben Affleck thinks that haunting music, long drawn out silences and mumbling lead actors will do the trick. Didn't work on me - I certainly felt no empathy with any of the characters.
