Pretty good, could have done more

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2015)

This was a good story with some great action. Yes, Jake G's character (Louis Bloom) was creepy and strange, but almost to the point that it became distracting. He's not subtly and horrifyingly creepy, like Javier Bardem in "No Country for Old Men", but in a very obvious way that makes you think, "Yeah, he's definitely a creep."
I thought they could have done much more with the plot. When the movie ended, it seemed like it was just getting to the good part. We see Louis develop into the bad guy we suspected he would be, but we don't see any of the consequences of his acts. The movie plods along too slowly for the first hour and then ends abruptly just as his villainy is really hitting its stride. They could have done a lot more with the story line. Entertaining movie, though.
