I notice a huge lack of intellectual criticism about this movie

Rating: 1/10 (10 December 2013)

Sometimes I like watching low budget horrors or trashy comedies or feel good movies. but when do so, I know that I should not expect much, only some cheap fun, scare or two, and maybe not even that, but that's fine, because, I know what I was in for. But when the movie gets over 8 on IMDb,with class A actors, my expectations get higher and I KNOW i will see a great thriller/drama. Except not! Instead I get over 2 hours of lame, slow drama that insults quality movie directing, story writing, because here motifs are predictable and not placed properly and narrative seems to be filled with plot holes, redundant characters and dead end situations. Unnecessary delays don't build good suspense, but rage and disappointment of the viewer. In this case 29-year-old mum, that somehow found enough time to watch good movie on Monday evening. What went wrong with the world where suddenly movies like TWILIGHT SAGA, HUNGER GAMES....and books like 50 SHADES OF GRAY and series like SLEEPY HOLLOW (what's up with that!?) became right measure for quality and good smart entertainment!? Are good thrillers/dramas on the same road to idiocracy!? Don't watch this, instead go for Mystic river /drama, or Taken/ thriller
