very disappointing finale

Rating: 4/10 (1 October 2014)

I want to say at the outset I am not a Ben Affleck fan but went to see this movie anyway as I had been told the book was very good. Despite my prejudice and a slow start, I found myself enjoying it much more than expected, but sadly the finale was a real let down that left the main protagonists all looking much more stupid than the film had, up to that time, made them appear. It turned a believable plot into an unbelievable one. The ending was so bad that it retrospectively downgraded the first three quarters of the film which had me wondering how it was going to end. I should know better by now; few films these days end well.
