Unpleasant and boring

Rating: 5/10 (7 March 2012)

Good actors but such a stupid and unpleasant story. Who on earth would want to watch this for entertainment? It isn't good drama just misery. It's a meaningless and pointless story.
Did the 2 male leads Sean Penn and Tim Robbins deserve to win Best Actor and Best supporting actor? Don't really think so. Except they look quite tortured.
It's so stupid of Marcia Gay Harden to tell Sean Penn her unfounded suspicions. The wrong killing leaves one so depressed and unsatisfied after watching it.
Directing is typical slow Eastwood style. This movie should not have been made.
