Best movie...in a slow year

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2013)

Not a good year for movies. So this one was a pleasant surprise. Excellent acting, intriguing plot, nicely filmed and at times unpredictable. Tricky plot to pull off without being cynical or sugar sweet. The actors, writers and director do their parts.
I was particular impressed at the quality of acting. I thought Cooper was a lightweight and Lawrence a one trick pony. Far from it.
The range shown in this movie is dramatic, not only by Lawrence but also Cooper. Hopefully Hollywood doesn't waste popular movie stars...that can actually act.
Well worth seeing.
