Great Story but needed better editing

Rating: 6/10 (25 October 2015)

Beware of possible spoilers! I really liked this movie, and I like Matt Damon. It was certainly a far better movie than "Interstellar." However, It dragged and was ponderous at times and was way too long. Of course, that may have been beneficial since I took two bathroom breaks during the movie and really didn't miss much. So this is the reason I gave it a rating of 6. Another reason for giving it a mid-range rating is that this is a movie that I don't really think I would want to watch again. There were attempts to vary the drama with humor, but it all seemed very formulaic and not really fresh and creative. I must say, though, that Matt Damon did a great job of acting. I hope he gets an Oscar nomination.
