Strongly over-rated

Rating: 5/10 (13 January 2015)

We went to watch this movie because of many people recommending it and of course because of David Fincher. I was very surprised why it got so much acknowledgment. A big part of the run-time was unnecessary. In comparison to his movie "game" in which every minute something utterly extraordinary was happening and it kept the audience in extreme suspense, this one was mostly just fillers. Ben Afleck was just himself (he didn't need to do any acting here), while some of the cast were actually not bad so at least something to watch. All in all, not what I expected. We left the cinema very disappointed. Didn't really worth it. Some parts were alright (I don't want to spoil anything) though, so that's why I'm giving it a six. But mostly it was very predictable.
