Very disappointing. Should Ben Affleck hang it up?

Rating: 1/10 (7 November 2007)

I can't recall a worse movie. You have great individual performances by Casey Affleck and Ed Harris, and a passable performance by Morgan Freeman. Ben Affleck does a good job of portraying the plight of the poor and drug addicted. But this movie was poorly made. The plot made so many twists and turns at the end, that I wondered when, exactly, it would end. They needed a montage near the end to explain what happened, because otherwise the viewer would have been totally confused. Finally, the ending was completely unbelievable. When Casey Affleck's girlfriend left him, I wanted to leave the theater.
To me, this movie suggests that Ben Affleck should either take directing lessons or hang it up. His wife has a good job, so he doesn't need the money...
