More interesting than The Tree of Life by Malick, but still... and too long

Rating: 6/10 (13 July 2012)

I agree that movies should not be primitive, with simple characters and predictable solutions, but over-sophisticated ones are difficult to follow -- especially if you watch them in a cinema without an opportunity to pause and resume. A person's mind can be deceptive and selective, but the director could take into account that all viewers are following the fate of a stranger. However, by the end of the movie, it would be nice to find out what really happened in the hero's life. And less moralization and reasoning, thank you! :) Especially on the issues like mortality, love, devotion, destiny...
Jared Leto is really good, the others are just above average. Perhaps their characters have not been distinguished enough. But cameramen, of course, have performed in an excellent way.
A must-to-see for those fond of "independent" philosophical movies, for the others - lengthy and boring.
