Very predictable bad movie.

Rating: 2/10 (28 January 2008)

I don't normally comment on films but after this was given 8 out of 10 I had to put the record straight. From the very beginning of the film I knew that I wasn't going to like it. Poor acting from both the main characters makes this one to miss. If you want a film that's watchable get a copy of Mystic River. I can only guess that having Ben Affleck as the director was the only reason this film was ever made. I found it hard to understand the slurred speech from most of the main actors, the only reason Casey Affleck was in the film was because of his brother, looking at Casey's past acting roles, well bit parts really no reason for this talentless wonder to make a major stage debut. At one point Patrick hides behind a wooden door to stop someone shooting at him, obviously wood in the USA stops bullets does it? The Angie character was so cardboard cut out I actually wished it has been an inanimate object. I found myself wishing both of them would die at the end so that I could feel watching the film wasn't a complete waste of time. The highlight was seeing the credits. Just goes to show if you have a few Hollywood blockbusters under your belt you can make just about any old rubbish.
