Enjoyable!

Rating: 8/10 (13 February 2015)

This stands out as a good suspense thriller that keeps you engaged. The movie is paced well. I'm a little surprised that Rosamund Pike is nominated for Best Actress - I didn't think her performance was that worthy - that's not to say it's bad, just not exceptional. Naturally having Ben Affleck as the lead gives this movie a lot more punch and he doesn't disappoint! Certainly deserved the hype it got. When the movie is over and you give it more thought there are a few holes in the storyline but that doesn't matter. It's meant to entertain you and that's what it does. It's not out to change your views or opinions on any subject. Sit back and enjoy it for what it is.
