You have to buy into the movie

Rating: 5/10 (5 January 2017)

Good story, good actors, good ideas, bad dialogues.
Movies are "make believe" as kids say. So in my opinion, the cardinal sin of a movie is when characters do not act or say stuff "normal people" would in the point of view of the viewer, even under extraordinary circumstances.
In this movie, I felt the acting was slightly "off key" in that regard. I think the problem is the "fine writing" of each scene. The general story line is good but you feel the acting is bad because actors are saying stuff that does not fit the particular situations. They were scared, emotional, joking, angry, worried, calm, etc at the wrong times. So no matter how good or bad the acting is... it's an uphill battle... and the viewer has to force himself to "play along"... but it is annoying and gets in the way of a basically good story and creates a distance between viewers characters. As a matter of fact, I think the actors themselves were struggling with delivering lines that did not feel right for each scene/situation.
