Good concept poorly executed

Rating: 6/10 (13 December 2014)

The story itself is good, but could have been great. This type of scenario lends itself very well to high level story tellers with multiple plot lines and character areas to follow. The execution leaves me feeling hollow. I felt like I was watching a daytime soap opera the entire time. The performance seems disingenuous and downright bad at its worst times. I am not to the point where I would like the time back I spent viewing this film, but I sure could come up with a better way to spend 2 and a half hours. This picture tries too hard to be something that it is not, a modern thriller with a genuine plot twist which makes you stand up and gasp. For good measure, Ben Affleck (sp)is the worst.
