Unrewarding

Rating: 4/10 (2 October 2014)

Generally a fan of Coen brothers films, but this one really missed the mark for me. It was tediously indulgent and the film lacked any characters that you could actually warm to, making sitting through the whole thing laborious. Whether it is the screenplay or the acting/direction, you have a lead character that you simply don't want to get anywhere because he doesn't deserve it. You sit there hoping he is going to get the life kicked out of him in the club so the film can be over.
Carey Mulligan and the cat probably put in the most credible performances.
