Pointless

Rating: 4/10 (12 October 2015)

Oh my gaaaawd was this film a complete waste of time and talent ! Where do I start ? The characters : well their backstory can be summarized in a few words or one sentence at best, so to say that they are shallow is an understatement. To see great actors like Del Toro and Brolin playing those lifeless, uninteresting cardboard characters is a real shame and a waste of talent. The plot : it is convoluted and isn't really going anywhere in the end. The film has nothing to say ! The cinematography : the director tries to build tension by showing long shots of random landscapes, but it just ends up being as boring and pointless as the rest of the movie. What we are left with is just another violent movie which capitalizes on its cast and sensationalism to lure us in.
