never been so disappointed since the dog picture

Rating: 1/10 (1 March 2016)

I've never been so disappointed since they picked that silent movie starring a dog for best picture. Even clown posse fans could pick a better movie. Take away the subject matter. Make it a story about the housing collapse and this movie would have tanked at the box office and shoved away like the detritus it is. It's incredibly banal and uninteresting. Great cast who in every scene seem to be raising their hand like "i've got something", "i've got something". On top of that it's an incredible rewrite of the facts. Google it yourself. It was well known long before this that some priests, everywhere, were abusing kids and the church knew about it. The only thing that came out of this investigation was the fact that this one particular diocese had an official policy of covering up the issue. There's no watergate story here. Besides the misrepresentation, there's no movie here. The acting is bland, bland, bland, details hard to follow and no suspense, or conclusion. Like a long out joke with a confusing punchline.
