Bit Contrived but Casey Affleck comes off Interesting

Rating: 6/10 (22 January 2010)

The Afflecks have teamed together on a full blown project that isn't too bad. It seems to stretch thin plausibility for the sake of "entertainment" twisting and turning it's way through a plot. There were quite a few character actions that didn't make much sense (spoiler) for instance, someone diving off a 40 foot cliff in water at night time not knowing how deep it was, or busting into a house with gun-fire coming out of it. Preposterous. However the acting in the movie seems satisfactory. Casey Affleck shows he can act maybe even better than his older brother. Towards the end though, questions seemed posed for the sake of controversy rather than natural resolution. And way, way too much swearing - left and right, up and down...sourly bad. Mixed review maybe worth a rental or better yet pick it up at the library.
