Shallow Misery

Rating: 1/10 (25 September 2014)

Nay, it was not exciting to sit through unimaginably slow 2 hours and watch a very repetitive sequence of shooting / talk / shooting / talk scenes. Johnny Dillinger? Oh yeah, he was a true people's hero, wasn't he? Johnny Depp? Oh, he is a truly great actor, is he not? Not in this slow, sad, painfully silly movie that does not hold, excite, make think or else. Nor does that wake any sympathy or compassion to any killed character. They are all schematic, shallow, vapid, dragging, plodding sketches with no blood or brain. Too much blood is here, but it is not necessary, and all those endless shoot-out scenes do not add anything to a slow sleepy tempo. And that shaky camera, and all those heroic faces. Funny. Bale, Crudup, Kotillar - good names, but bad roles. No real breath, no life. No empathy, no nothing. Just a slow pace and dull view. Do not watch this. Even for fun. Waste of time.
