Sorry David, I´m bored

Rating: 2/10 (9 May 2020)

I was really motivated to watch this film as I had heard of it in a good way. I hadn´t done so until now as I don´t particularly like Ben Affleck but I thought I would give him a chance.
I was very positively surprised.to see David Fincher at the direction as I haven´t read the book and trusted that he could only direct a story that is worth it...
It´s been half an hour and, in spite of all the visual that David Fincher is known for, I am really bored.
There are two sex scenes that kind of shocked me as I did not see what they were bringing to the story, but I thought that maybe it was to lead to something so I put these aside and carried on watching.
Then came my second reservation: the over use of the flash back. I don´t get the purpose of having so many, at least at this point of the story as it is so far easy to follow.
Then came the third one: the action is really slow. Yes, there is a music in the background to bring a bit of mystery but it is not working. And I believe the reason is that the story is just not interesting..
I usually appreciate the dark ambiance that David Fincher puts into his films but there has to be a consistent plot.
I am rating it 4 for David Fincher´s work but the script is just not good. And I am yet to find a film in which I will appreciate Ben Affleck...
