Interesting Drama, well acted, lousy ending

Rating: 2/10 (8 August 2014)

I will keep this short as this movie has been reviewed many times before. There is some stellar acting in this movie, a truly excellent cast and a fantastic concept. Brad Pitt does an amazing job seeming truly alien in this movie. The ending however is just terrible and completely forced. I wont give anything away but the acting in the very last scene completely breaks down as characters are forced to act in unnatural ways to facilitate the ending that was scripted. It's not a matter of poor acting but a script that has characters behaving in ways that are completely contrived for the sake of the ending the writer or director chose.
