entertaining to a point

Rating: 5/10 (11 October 2014)

I have just returned from the cinema after watching the movie based on the high rating IMDb gave it. It might be, to some critics, an arty movie but from the reaction (same as ours) of the crowd when the movie ended....a let down. A prelude to a part 2 or 3, similar to Revenge series, which was far better. This movie was so dark, I thought the cinema must have poor equipment. Acting was good, no doubt about it....plot was good but, boy, did it get bogged down in the last 40 minutes! For me, the lawyer, Tanner Bolt, summed it up for me and from the reaction in the cinema, the rest of the audience, when he said to Affleck that he and his wife are the two most f....d up people he'd ever met. Go watch The Judge instead....it is hopefully better
