A real let-down.

Rating: 5/10 (7 April 2014)

I really looked forward to seeing this Film, and regret to say that it was a large disappointment. The story (purported to be true, but clearly over the top!) was poorly scripted, with far too much relying on clever quips, the actors tried to make this believable, but when saddled with some outrageous scenes like the one with the horse, reality went out the window. The best acting came from Cate Blanchett and Hugh Bonneville (so far from Downton Abbey), while Matt Damon
seemed to be missing in 75% of the story. It also appeared as if the Cigarette companies sponsored the Movie. There is no question that it will make money, due solely to the names of the Stars, but it certainly misses out in true entertainment and interest.
