What to think...

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2014)

So I rated this at 7 but it could have easily been either a 2 or a ten.. I know, that sounds crazy, but that is how I am left after watching this movie.. I was psyched to see another Fincher movie and I went in to it with high hopes but an open mind. It starts slow as molasses and that isn't necessarily bad when it is done well. I think the idea here was to really feel the emotions and the pace of what they were going through at the start of the story. The last hour or so is really great but when I think about great movies I think about movies that keep me entirely fixated for the duration. This movie did not, I could have been cleaning the kitchen while watching this and not stop and just watch. So that is why I say it could go either way. I have really enjoyed Ben Affleck in his last couple movies. He is the kind of actor you love or hate and I don't hate him. The final word is this movie is through and through Fincher, very interesting plot, and long and slow.
