Lost potential

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2013)

The film tells an absolutely great love story. That someone from a psychiatric comes to a better person to win back his true love is exciting and interesting. Great idea! But sad is the implementation.
First of all, the cast is chosen wrong. Bradley Cooper does not manage to embody the role seriously. Jennifer Lawrence is good, but had already delivered better performance. Robert De Niro is absolutely great, but unfortunately goes completely under.
The narrative also knows for weak points. How to develop Tiffany love to Pat, why is unclear what Pat Nikki whispers at the end and why Tiffany knows all of a sudden the football results ... The list could be continued.
In the end the movie with a better cast and a sophisticated script could have been a masterpiece. Unfortunately, lost a lot of potential.
