The more it made me think the less sense it made

Rating: 3/10 (26 December 2014)

A dark psycho drama with good acting and some good dialog.
As the story unfolds, the clues point to a well planned and well executed plot. The viewer is led to believe that Ben Affleck is facing an uphill battle when all the prepared pieces fall in place. However, when the plan unravels due to an unexpected incident, a new plan must be hatched and that is where the movie starts unraveling as well.
The cover-up plan and its execution left me almost insulted with many inconsistencies and unrealistic portrayal of characters that just did not fit. The ending left me asking many questions. This may have been the intent but it really did not work for me. The cover-up scheme was so flawed that any detective would have easily noted the clues. And I am not even speaking of the psychology of Ben Affleck's character - his final act goes against everything the movie was building up to.
Too bad, the movie certainly had the potential.
